According to a Toyota service rep. About $4,500 The above statement is true in a sense. None of Toyota's Hybrid Batteries have needed to be replaced from use.
This is going back to 1998 in the US market There have been a few defective batteries replaced. However the most common replacment is due to rear impact. At this point your not just replacing the batteries, you are also replacing the housing unit which together with instalation is about $5,000 The actual battery costs about $250 per unit to replace as there are 12 smaller batteries in the housing unit, not just one big one.
If one should die you only need to replace that one.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
