Hybrid vehicle battery challenges- Jon Lauckner, GM

[DMuMajor]

what this guy isn't telling us is that these types of cars (for sale to the public) generally come with a 8 Yr./80,000 warrenty.

The significance of this is that the batteries cost btween $3,500.00 to $5,000.00 to replace. So what happens is people are trying to sell their hybrid before the warranty expires.

So realistically a 5 year old car is guarranteed to cost you approx. $4,000.00 just to keep it.

No thank you. I'll keep my Ford Ranger for now.
