You might also check the 12v battery, if it's limping along on the original or a dead one it would have to be constantly recharged by the HV battery & inverter running more often. Our 2013 had the original battery still in it when we bought it a couple months ago, clinging on at 11.9v. Mileage seems to have improved slightly with a fresh one.
I have a 2016 Gen 4 that my partner commutes about 100 miles round trip in. Aside from its strange looks it's a great car. Zero repairs so far at more than 220K miles. No rattles or clunks. Every single electric button and switch still works.
Not a Lexus but 2023 Camry and had my battery die twice and both times had Toyota test it and charge it.
It was from lack of use, and short drives. The battery was also on the low amp of cca ratings. I replaced it with a much stronger CCA rating battery and haven't had any issues,
Try tsure cars from toyota. A little bit expensive yes pero ang na receive namin is free transfer of ownership, free basic pms, free new battery, and na discountan nang insrance. We need a company car got a vios 2019 G w/ 65k milage at 540k php pang harabas.
Toyota Prius, the battery isn't that big of a deal, the health can be checked with an app and a dongle, and they;re the most reliable cars on the planet.
Pruis 12v battery last a long time. I just replaced my 11 year old battery. It was still working I just decided to do it as maintenance.
I have a ‘24 RAV4 Prime and a ‘13 Prius V. I can say that my battery and fuel efficiency on both vehicles drops between 30 and 40% as soon as the cold weather hits. Range on the RAV4 Prime goes from 80km/charge to about 55-60km in cold weather, plus the gas runs more often so I don’t go as far on a tank (~1300km winter vs our record 2100km spring/summer).
My 2012 recently needed a battery replacement
So on top of cold weather, your battery may need attention
Assuming that it's a hybrid and not a PHEV it should run you about $2,500 to have it done professionally, or less than $1000 to do it yourself. At least that was my experience with my Prius.
My factory battery died at 30k miles on a 2024 corolla…
