#29 of 96 Re: HV Hybrid Battery Pack: How long will it last? [agnosto] by larsb Aug 08, 2006 (12:30 pm)
Replying to: agnosto (Aug 08, 2006 12:21 pm) No one really knows how long they will last.   They are engineered to last the life of the car - somewhere between 150,000 and 300,000 miles.   Toyota takes precautions with the software to lengthen battery life by controlling the charge levels, keeping the battery cool, etc. Replies to this message: agnosto (Aug 08, 2006 1:01 pm) larsb (Aug 08, 2006 1:51 pm) midnightcowboy (Aug 09, 2006 12:29 pm) and 1 more...

Replying to: larsb (Aug 08, 2006 12:30 pm) Great, thanks, that is great news, make my decision easier to trade in my beastly 2006 4Runner LTD 4WD V8 (nice one, but it is a gas guzzler) for a TCH even though I will loose some money, it is better to save the environment than burning 13-17 MPG while driving in city... If you are an TCH owner any dislikes so far?? Trying also to get one before end of 9/30/06 so I can get the full $2,600 tax credit... it is hard to find though one with Navigation as they are all presold...

Replying to: agnosto (Aug 08, 2006 1:01 pm) I love my TCH. My previous car was a 2004 HCH, so I actually have LOST 12 mile per gallon with my new car !!   The TCH is definitely an upgrade from the HCH in virtually every way though - the MPG aside.....   Very comfy and roomy inside. Rear A/C vents are MUCH APPRECIATED by my two kids. The larger trunk opening means I can carry my Segway in the trunk. The A/C is much better than the A/C in the Honda hybrid - gets cold much faster. Had the car up to 95 MPH and it was as smooth as 45 MPH. (will not admit that in a court of law) I LOVE having the EV mode available and being able to cruise along in electric mode only - something the Hondas don't have. Quiet/ QUIET engine - even when the gas engine is running, this car is very well insulated for sound.   Good Luck !!

Replying to: larsb (Aug 08, 2006 1:51 pm) Okay Larsb what did I miss. I reread and still could not find any information in your post about how long the HV battery pack will last?   Thanks,   MidCow Replies to this message: larsb (Aug 09, 2006 12:45 pm)

Replying to: midnightcowboy (Aug 09, 2006 12:29 pm) the other poster asked me "If you are an TCH owner any dislikes so far??"   That was my response.
#34 of 96 Requesting 2007 Toyota Camry Hybrid info by agnosto Aug 09, 2006 (7:04 pm)
Does anyone know whether the 2007 TCH has timing belt or chain? What about the oil filter is it a filter similar to a 2005 Toyota Camry?   Also question to the current 2007 TCH owners... besides the fuel economy was there any other reason the TCH was chosen over a 2007 Camry V6?

Replying to: agnosto (Aug 09, 2006 7:04 pm) This may sound silly, but the reason we started looking at the Hybrid, was that the interior trim (yellowish burl wood look) was HORRID. We have a 99 camry, and finally got used to the dark burl wood, but I could never get used to the yellow orange wood!!! The only way around this was looking at other trim levels or the Hybrid... THANK HEAVENS we did. I am in LOVE with my TCH!   Oh, and the fact that gas prices are not going down, and I'm getting over 38 mpg....   mel

What is the real story with the batteries? What is their replacement cost/disposal? Replies to this message: larsb (Aug 17, 2006 6:59 am) kdhspyder (Aug 28, 2006 7:35 pm)

Replying to: rfr_98 (Aug 16, 2006 5:03 pm) Nobody really knows. Good luck finding out. I have been involved with hybrids for 25 months now and have never seen good information on the battery issue.   It's a mystery wrapped in a conundrum?

Replying to: agnosto (Aug 09, 2006 7:04 pm) Found the payback period on the v6 was too long
