Toyota Hybrid vs Competition. Toyota hybrids have proven to last beyond 300k on the original #Shorts

[00:00:00]If you're buying a hybrid, don't want an $8,000 surprise at 200,000 km, then listen to this. Most hybrid batteries get slammed between 0 and 100% every single drive. That's like redlining your engine at every stoplight. By 150,000 km, those cells are cooked, they're dead. And the dealer says it's time for a new battery, and that's an $8,000 bill. Toyota does something a little different. Their system never charges past 80% or drops below 20%. That middle sweet spot that keeps the cells cool and alive. And the result, original batteries rolling past 300,000 km.

[00:00:36]That's 150,000 km more than the competition on the same pack. So, the next time a dealer says, "All hybrids are the same."

[00:00:45]Give it some thought. Ask them to show you the proof because that's where the money is.
