![]() The Honda Civic’s battery failed at 200k, and a new one costs 4,300 euros, plus the replacement at an authorized service. ![]() In some cases, replacing some cells and reconditioning can keep it running for a while, but in other cases, all cells need to be replaced, which costs over 2,000-2,500 euros just for the material. At 150,000-200,000 km, the battery is already burned with only 20% of its original state of health (SOH) capacity because the average cells, which started at 6.5Ah, are burned down to just 1Ah in total. Then, with that same battery, people swear that they “never had to replace it” and that it’s still working fine. It’s like when people deactivate the EGR on a Golf, Toyota has deactivated the fault code for battery failure. Every battery system they have is quite cooked and degraded by 30-50% already at 100,000 km, but to avoid the error light turning on, they have implemented their own DTC OFF (colleagues know the terminology), meaning they have disabled the check engine light. ![]() Every electrified product they have is a complete disappointment from a technical standpoint, and the BZ4X is a total failure of the powertrain system. Every new hybrid that comes with Toyota’s “self-discharging” system in defect makes us more certain that our final review of them will definitely be the pinnacle soon, but the hint itself suggests that everything they release is just good marketing and that Toyota is the future Nokia. Hybrids strike back with an invasion, while we complain about sponsored hybrid subsidized vacations.
