Will Toyota Lose Its Edge?
However, I question 169775's comments about his Prius... no alternator? What do you think is recharging your batteries for when you are in the electric mode? It is not just getting charged from the regenerative braking. No starter? What is starting the 4 cyl engine that works in conjunction with the electric motors thus making it a "Hybrid" and not a straight electric car. No timing belt? what is turning the overhead cam that is pushing the intake and exhaust valves open and closed as the 4 cylinder engine that is in your Prius? I know this is a financial blog and not an automotive tech blog, but please realize your Prius still has an engine and many of the same components that other cars have. I too am quite impressed with Toyota's Hybrids (my mother has a Hybrid Camry), and think they are great with rising fuel costs, but am a bit warry of what the maintanence costs would be for long term ownership since they have not less, but more components to maintain.
