I did a detailed research on Hybrid cars and specifically Toyota Hybrids and this is what I found out. Hybrids use the electric motor to drive the vehicle, whilst the petrol engine supplies power to the electric motor when needed and supports a generator to charge the hybrid battery too. Some hybrid cars only use their electric motors to support the engine during acceleration and cruising where the electric motor cannot power the car on its own. In the self-charging Toyota Hybrids, you can enjoy pure electric power for up to 50% of your city journeys according to Toyota Hybrid Experience figures. At higher speeds or when overtaking on the motorway, the petrol engine and electric motors work together to give you a strong boost of power. Toyota pioneered hybrid technology with the Prius in 1997. Today, as the hybrid leader with over 15 million hybrid cars around the world. Priuses have been known to run without any battery issues for up to as many as 400,000 - 600,000 kilometers which is impressive for any car! It's a fact that the Toyota Fielder Hybrid is built on the same battery as the Toyota Prius Hybrid which has been a very reliable hybrid car with longevity in its battery performance (over 15 years now). Corolla Fielders have been known to be very reliable cars and Toyota has put effort in making sure they retain this valuable history. There have been very few cases of failure of Toyota Hybrid batteries mostly arising from collision that damages the hybrid battery. So people buy hybrids in peace. That's where the future is.

Hey CK and team, you better start now to practice for the dance you promised, because I see by next week we shall have hit the 100k subs mark.

My two sence is it will depend on one needs prefer hybrid for long journeys and non hybrid for short trips and use and if the pocket allows you then have both depending on your usage ✌️🤑

Ercik, I also noted that Honda Insight and Civic hybrids can move even without the hybrid battery. But there are some car models which cannot operate without the hybrid battery.

I have learnt alot. Thank you bwana Erick.

We were just having this conversation about hybrids with some friends. Awesome! 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾

Wonderful content

Thank you

Timely content!! Informative, insightful. I think its too early for me to go hybrid and would therefore consider sticking with internal combustion engines.

this message is cool it also applies to zambian cars

Mniitie keki ..you're almost at 100k 🎉🎉🥳🥳

Thanks for the info guys, good job as always.parallel hybrids are better

Thankyou so much Ck, i can now comfortably surprise my wife with a small hybrid car preferably a honda,

Change is inevitable

I think automobile electrification is inevitable! We're just the last lot to join the wagon but we must join.

True. The future is electric but for sure we have a learning curve involved for us third world

Nice video on how you have explain about hybrid cars but as a hybrid specialist and also a seller you have exaggerated about the hybrid battery it is not that expensive and another factor it depends on the type of the battery and the hybrid car.

Hey CK...can you review the Toyota Rush?the old model

Thank you so much for the insight. I recently bought a fielder wxb , after disposing of my 2008 Fielder; I am yet to learn much about the car - kindly explain to me the use of the knob marked "A" next to the hand brake lever. please forgive my ignorance.

Happy 100k subs.

I would wish a review on the lexus 450h and why many say the hybrid system is problematic.

What are the old bmw can you recommend for me

Hi, can you do a piece on 2015 Volkswagen Multivan (T6) 2.0 TDI ?

Erick can you help s.one in buying a reliable car?with your insights and knowledge i can't mind

Hybrid is very cheap to maintain have fielder hybrid, in one time occasion the battery failed the mechanic check with a diagnostic machine and found out only 2 cells were bad it only cost me 8k to replace plus labour , mind you I do between 25-30km/ltr so in my opinion hybrid is the best car to have it

So today I've actually learnt that KAPUT is a valid English word. I always thought ni lugha tu ya Kenya

Wokafi kuna issue ya conversion from petrol to lpg, Kindly address the issue kwanza cons and pro zake 👍

I really think you have misled people on this one because Toyota hybrids are the cheapest to maintain, you may need to do a little research on Toyota Prius. That vehicle is like a bicycle, only the routine maintenance required plus the brake pads never die, you can go ages without switching them. Changing the hybrid battery might be costly (Ksh 50,000) but that would probably be after approx 3000,000 km on the dash, Bottom line... Toyota makes the best hybrid vehicles and they are super reliable, usidanganywe

Are the Lexus Hybrid cars reliable?

Need more info on Honda Vezel

But your Reviews are Good still!

#erickwokabi sisi watu wa honda odyssey new series tungoje hadi lini

Sometimes, hybrid cars are not always the best.Unlike the internal combustion engines.But for me,I would get a zero milage hybrid car.

Mimi nataka kupea mbugua challenge mkifanya sherehe ya 100k subs😂 ...

Am still afraid to buy a Hybrid am looking at the Servicing Cost!

Naomba kwa taadhima kuu kama waweza tengeza review ya Bentley mini Cooper , na uwezo wa kupata spare parts . Shukrani

I WATCHED THIS ALLURING EPISODE ON 16/07/2022 NOW AT 99.9K SUBS, lemi bring those 100 right away

What is the average life of a hybrid batterry?

Tomorrow we hit 100k

Toyota, Honda, and Lexus hybrids are the most reliable. Toyota Crown hybrid and the Lexus RX 450h giving me sleepless nights. For a full electric car, a Nissan Leaf or Hyundai Kona are the best choices for town driving.

Hybrid batteries have guarantees of 240,000

For the price of importing hybrid batt you are wrong. Its 70k to 90k inclusive of taxes.

100k tumefikia

Sorry its the honda that pioneered the hybrid system

unaenda moyale lini mwaka inaisha? Hybrid not worth it, in third world countries.. life iko ngumu already.. then ubuy battery 300k..

Lemme stick to non hybrid😂

Never ever...how will you maintain those fucking expensive batteries.gasoline for now is good
