Does hybrid car maintenance cost more than regular car maintenance?

Routine maintenance and minor repair costs are generally no higher for a hybrid than for a traditional vehicle. In fact, these costs can often be lower. The hybrid system shuts down the engine when idling or driving at low speeds, saving wear and tear on the engine and extending the time between oil changes. In addition, the regenerative braking system tends to protect the brakes and brake pads, allowing more time and mileage to elapse between replacements.

Hybrid systems are generally maintenance free, with a few minor exceptions. Of course, the tradeoff is that hybrid batteries are expensive. If yours happens to die after the warranty expires, you could be looking at a large repair bill.
