Cost Savings and Long-Term Value of Owning a Hybrid

Are hybrids worth the investment?

Are you looking to reduce your carbon footprint?

Do you want to save money in the long run?

The perks of saving on gas speak for themselves when it comes to owning a hybrid. You’ll even save money when it comes to regular maintenance. You still need maintenance, but less of it!

According to Consumer Reports, “because electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles have fewer moving parts than completely fuel-powered cars, you can expect to spend about half as much on maintenance —that's an average of $4,600 in savings over the life of the vehicle.”

What other kinds of cost savings are there?

Initially, the sticker price can be higher than regular gas-powered vehicles, but some hybrid vehicles offer tax credit incentives. To find out if your car qualifies, read this or consult a tax professional. 

Many people have a negative outlook on hybrid batteries because they assume batteries need to be replaced often. The chances you’ll need a new battery are actually slim to none, and if you do need a replacement, many auto manufacturers standard warranties cover 100,000 miles or 10 years of battery life. This expense may never be an issue for you, and if it becomes an issue, it’s likely far down the road from your initial investment.
