Scotty, can you please tell me what the difference is between a hybrid and a plug in hybrid? I see people saying they want a plug in hybrid… why?? Is it cheaper or what?? Why would anyone want the pain of having to plug and unplug when you can just buy a hybrid?

My grandpa once needed to do some electrical work on an old 90s Taurus, around 2010. I figured he'd fire up his home computer, and do some web surfing. Nope! He goes down to a local hardware store, and buys this manual as big as a phone book specifically for his model of car. He must've figured it out, because his car ran "so much f*ing better". I took a glance through it a while later, and it seemed to have every detail about the car from how to change the plugs and oil, to how to completely remove the engine from the car! Really makes you wonder what home car repair is going to be like once electric cars become more popular.

All high voltage stuff on cars is orange. Don't touch orange wires. You can actually repair a Prius battery on your own, the battery cover is held by special orange clips that can only be opened by the tool on the tip of the battery kill switch. You cannot get inside the battery while the wires are live, because the kill switch is in your hand and therefore not inserted into the battery. The battery is 200V DC which is painful but not fatal with dry hands (and even then you'd need to do something dumb like put the kill switch back in while the high voltage wiring is exposed).

If you can maintain and fix your traditional gas vehicles, then those savings far exceed the gas savings you get from buying a hybrid. But if you always delegate vehicle maintenance to others, then hybrids are a good value. Especially if they get the mpg of a Prius.

They just hear some rumours about junkyard hybrid cars being bad and they assume all hybrids both straight out the factory and decently maintained used hybrids are horrible. They just classify both hybrid and full electric as electric cars" imagine j neusbaum be talking about electric bills on a hybrid car" Well hybrid cars use engines and heat wave from braking to power the battery and they are better than electric cars. And still if I have an opportunity to chose between hybrid and full gasoline engine cars, I would chose hybrid all day, especially a Toyota/Honda hybrid. If you wanna enjoy a hybrid car battery like forever, make sure your daily routine mostly requires inter city driving, guess that's why most taxi drivers go for hybrids with no complaints in the furthest future.

If you’re just doing regular maintenance on the gas engine, you shouldn’t have to mess with any of the high voltage stuff

Scotty, I'm looking at buying a 2022 Lexus ES300h. Is there any problem with me changing the brakes when it needs it?

So, So what ? I owns a awesome Rav4 2017 hybrid 4x4 and it is on road with big distance the most great Car, i ever been owned. And of course you must know what u drive, repair ore maintain. But gloves above 1000 bugs is in my opinion absolutely exaggerated, and the gasoline drive train is even in the contrary very very easy to get acces to it and so very easy to maintain. I never would presently change my asian power ship. Regards Jay

Sorry Scotty but you should know this!! Volts do not kill you!!! Amps to do!! 😁 you welcome!

Hybrids and EV are more expensive to maintain. The money you think your are saving in fuel goes into labor and parts. Insurance is higher because parts and repair costs are higher. Then you have to replace the main battery eventually. These vehicles will be treated like BMW, Benz and Audi. Get rid of them before the warranty expires or before you realize too late how much money you've spent on looking cool. Or trying to save the environment.

The hybrid components rarely break anyway... they typically outlast the car.

I don’t agree with that. Hybrid battery last for quite time without question. It reliable but not inexpensive for sure. but Toyota in particular for example don’t over warranty anymore than 10 yrs/150k miles on them. They’re expensive to replace as $3K just for the OEM. That’s a lot to swallow especially when owning or buying a high mileage one. Hybrid makes sense in specific situation such as driving around the city more than constant highway commute beyond the average threshold of 12000 miles spent per year and that’s not all. I owned a used one as a 2nd owner for 4 years. Sold it because it doesn’t make financially sense to keep it beyond 200k miles with anticipated expensive maintenance. Otherwise, great car IF INTEND to keep it forever AND be able to serve it yourself versus the shops. I’m not that guy.

i wonder what the electrical engineers that work on these hybrids think about the them. i could image a lot of these hybrids end up written off when those electrical systems have issues.
