You have probably been seeing more people driving hybrid cars around Blackfoot. With their combination of an internal combustion engine and electric motors, you will gain greater fuel efficiency on your daily drives. When some drivers hear about electric motors, they might be wondering about hybrid car maintenance costs. You might be asking yourself, “Are hybrid cars high maintenance?” The short answer is no. For the long answer, Sayer Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram has put together a guide on what this generally involves.
With many Idaho Falls car shoppers wondering if hybrid cars are high maintenance, it’s important to discuss what hybrid car maintenance involves. As you begin looking into the service needs of a hybrid car, you will find it’s not too different from a traditional gas-powered vehicle. For example, hybrid cars will still need oil changes every 5,000-7,500 miles, requiring much of the maintenance of an internal combustion engine.
Due to these aspects, you will find that hybrid car maintenance is very similar to the kind you find in your current vehicle. The only major difference is replacing your hybrid vehicle’s battery. However, some owners report it lasting upwards of 200,000 miles or longer. Here’s some more information about hybrid car maintenance costs:
With a similar mileage interval, most hybrid oil changes will cost the same as a traditional gas-powered vehicle.
Most hybrid vehicles have two batteries, a standard vehicle and a hybrid battery. Your hybrid vehicle battery will likely need to be replaced in the same manner as a standard vehicle battery. If your hybrid battery needs to be replaced, the costs could be much higher. It should be noted that most Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, RAM, Wagoneer hybrid vehicles have a warranty coverage that lasts around 8 years or 100,000 miles, with some of the latest models having coverage that lasts 10 years or 150,000 miles.
Beyond hybrid vehicle battery replacements, other wear and tear maintenance won’t cost too much on your Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, RAM, Wagoneer hybrid. With tire replacements, lightbulbs, and regular service items needing to be changed at regular intervals.
