Russell B asked:


My wife is going to have a 45 mile commute to work next year, so we were thinking it might be economical to get a hybrid vehicle, but I’ve heard that the battery costs thousands of dollars to replace when it goes out. Is this true, and how much would I expect to pay to replace one?

i have a mercedes diesel 350sdl. I think it has an oil leak so I want to top off the oil before I head home. What is the best oil to get for this car? I don’t want to use an ycheap oil.
I really have no idea what oil is in there right now – so what would I do?

Only thing i can think of is removing all the current oil and putting in a new bottle, but how would i remove the rest of the current oil/
thanks)

I am thinking about getting a hyvrid car, but I heard that the bartteries in them that they run off of when they don’t use gas die fast, and they are really expensive to replace. I am wondering how long they do in fact last, years or miles, it’s all good. Thanks!

Have been looking at hybrid cars and was told that there is a 20 mile dead zone around the plants that manufacturer the batteries that power them. Can someone tell me if this is true or not and how can I verify this information?

They would be like wind turbines, maybe down near the blinkers, so that when you drive, the air goes through then and recharges the batteries of a hybrid or electic car. Think it’s feasible?

I have noticed that the hybrid cars cost $10,000 to $12,000 more for the same style car that is gasoline powered. I can not find out any information that compares the maintainence cost mile for mile of the different types of cars. I do not qualify for the tax rebate to purchase a hybrid. So am I saving money or not if I buy one?

I had a friend recently tell me that when the batteries are no longer good in the new hybrid that disposing of them actually does more harm then using the cars. Any info about this?

Student asked:


Hi
I have a GT zum S2 hybrid.
I am thinking of upgrading the crankset on it to something a little better.
I have two choices in mind, to either get a better square taper crankset and keep my current bottom bracket, or to get a hollow tech 2 external bottom bracket with the crankset.
There is a nice crankset (HT2) on chainreaction cycles for around £50 which I am looking at.
I wish to keep the 3 ring set up, probably at MTB gearing.
I would like to know, whether:
If I get a new SqT crankset will it change my chainline if I am using the old BB?
If I get the HT2, will it be ok with my 8spd cassette?
Apart from getting the shell faced, an external BB tool and a new 8spd chain, will there be much more stuff needed to do it myself? I have some tools already.
I wish to try todo it myself because 1, the LBS is overly expensive on labour and 2, I wish to learn for future biking maintainence.
What else should I consider?

How long do these Hybrid batteries last? What are the warranties on them & etc.? How often should they be replaced or maintenanced?
(Located in California, if that affects your answers)
Okay, in the “rare occurence” of a failed hybrid battery, how much would the battery replacement cost?

giantfishhead asked:


Considering the heavy environmental burden in both production and disposal of batteries, does the the production of a hybrid car actually make more sense (in terms of spent carbon) than a similar size vehicle?

ladyofhoward asked:


I have heard that the batteries in hybrid vehicles last for about 100K miles. I am concerned with how, or what happens to the old batteries. Are they recycled, and how are they recycled. Is it good for the enviornment. Might I, and the enviorment, be better off purchasing a non-hybrid vehicle?

billscott92787 asked:


With a hybrid vehicle, I know that they are ran off of gasoline engine and also an electric motor. The electric motor receives its power from the hybrid battery. Is this charged from the regular alternator that is on all vehicles?
