  1. According to this article (https://www.nsford.com/blogs/2500/driving-tips/how-long-do-hybrid-car-batteries-last/) a lithium ion battery *may last up to 200k, and will run $1000-$3000 to replace, excluding labor How is that so different to the quicklane info posted above? It would be great if it were only $160!
  2. Glad to find this forum. Was considering buying a 2015 C-Max SEL, 84k miles, 1 owner, and was excited about entering the world of hybrids for the first time. I wanted to find out more about how long the hybrid battery might last and how much it could cost to repair. After reading this forum, I think unless I have a degree in hybrid auto mechanics, I have no business getting a hybrid. I definitely don't need a car that requires daily performance analysis. Not to mention, I live in the midwest - it gets cold in the winter, and hot in the summer, neither of which sounds good for performance. Thank you for a quick lesson in reality!
