 Battery Replacement: The cost of replacing the hybrid battery can be significant and may occur after several years of use.

 Performance: Some hybrid cars may have less power and acceleration compared to their gasoline counterparts.

Charging Infrastructure: Finding charging stations for plug-in hybrids can be a challenge, especially in rural areas.


Tires will wear out also faster due to Regenerative Braking
