as per Toyota, the battery will last the lifespan of the car. not unless you plan to use the car for more than 20 years!

That's expensive. Enjoy the last decade or so of pure ICE vehicles. By the 2030s it will most likely only be hybrids and EVs (which have much larger and much more expensive battery packs). In the US some EV battery packs can go over $20K (P1.125M).

Let's hope they develop cheaper battery tech ASAP.

when I bought my car 3 years ago... I was hoping to buy a manual Corolla or Civic 10 years later. I told my wife and daughter its going to be my last ride before we all go electric.

Now, wala nang Manual!

and if things don't change, looks like electric na din kapalit ng car ko.

EV baka di pa yan kagad maging mainstream sa Pinas. Power grid infrastructure (nasa peak na actually ang Pinas sa power supply capacity) and high electricity cost will limit the mainstream adoption of EV. I would say around 2040 pa magiging widely adopted yan EV sa bansa natin.

Hybrid will likely dominated the local market within this decade.

Toyota will lead the way for sure on the hybrid and EV adoption.

have to wait for Nissan's pricing.

Assuming Prius = Leaf, then:

Cross Hybrid = Qashqai E-Power and Urban Cruiser Hyryder = Kicks

Nissan should have the pricing of these in their cross hairs for the local market
