    Toyota hybrids are reliable compared to other ICE vehicles. But EVs are even more reliable. Also you still have to do ICE maintenance on hybrids like oil changes.

    I agree hybrids still have their place, but i think many more people can switch to full EVs instead of going hybrid. they are just wary of change.

      It still comes down a lot to brand, as demonstrated by Toyota being more reliable than Tesla: https://autoreliabilityindex.com/compare/tesla-vs-toyota

      Realistically, both technologies are mature enough that either technology can be very reliable if the manufacturer puts in the work.

      Also you still have to do ICE maintenance on hybrids like oil changes.

      ICE and hybrids do have more maintenance, but it is still infrequent on modern vehicles.
