Fixing your own hybrid
« on: February 13, 2015, 03:42:16 PM »
This was on the front page of Reddit today, and I thought people might find it interesting.

Good post; I will probably be doing that eventually as we have three Priuses (Prii?) in my family now.  I'll take my hybrids over any pickup, 80s piece of shit or no.  Sold my supercharged Lightning last year, matter of fact.  :-)

I'm hoping long range quick charge electrics come along soon.  Not a fan of batteries due to the failure modes which tend to be more dangerous than typical ICE type failures.  Overall reliability should be better though, electric motors are WAY more reliable.

Hybrids.  No thank you.  You get the worst of both worlds.  A finicky ICE AND a bunch o' batteries.
