Are the Maintenance Costs of Hybrid Cars High?

[DiLaila]

Hybrid cars have high maintenance costs. In the later stages of use, the maintenance expenses of hybrid vehicles are generally higher than those of electric cars and conventional fuel-powered vehicles. Here are the reasons for the higher costs: 1. More maintenance items: For hybrid cars, in addition to the traditional maintenance items for fuel engines, the electric drive system also requires regular maintenance. At the same time, the carbon deposits generated during engine use need to be cleaned periodically, which also adds to the maintenance costs. Maintenance of the electric drive system is also essential. 2. Higher vehicle failure rate: From the perspective of accident rates, hybrid cars also have a higher incidence compared to conventional fuel-powered or electric vehicles. Moreover, for the electric drive system, the current technology is not particularly mature, so the relative failure rate is higher than that of fuel engines.
