What is the difference in maintenance costs between hybrid cars and regular cars?

[Yolanda]

Hybrid cars and regular cars differ in maintenance costs, with hybrid vehicles generally costing more to maintain. In addition to gasoline engine maintenance, there are also battery maintenance, electric motor upkeep, and the significant expense of battery replacement in the later stages. Concept of hybrid vehicles: Refers to vehicles equipped with more than one power source: storage batteries, fuel cells, solar cells, or generator sets of internal combustion engine vehicles. Currently, hybrid vehicles generally refer to those with an internal combustion engine generator plus a storage battery. Advantages of hybrid vehicles: With hybrid power, the maximum power of the internal combustion engine can be determined based on the average required power, operating under optimal conditions of low fuel consumption and reduced pollution. When the internal combustion engine's power is insufficient for high demands, the battery supplements it; during low loads, excess power can generate electricity to charge the battery. Since the internal combustion engine can operate continuously and the battery can be constantly charged, the vehicle's range is comparable to that of a regular car.
