hybrid maintenance?

does a hybrid require any additional maintenance when compared to a traditional gas powered vehicle? or is it pretty much the same?

Maintenance of yur Hybrid is a bit different. In most cases other than the systems that control the on-board storage batteries and the additional electric drive motor, routine maintenance for hybrids follows pretty much lock step with any other car.

Wat is entailed in the upkeep of the electric components and the battery, and where would one go to get it worked on? I'm just assuming that there aren't a lot of small-town dealerships and repair shoppes that know how to work on one of these yet.

Is it hard to learn how to do oneself?

The maintenence in hybrid mainly depends on the maintenence of its battery system. I don think the cost much differ from that of regular car maintenence.

There is not much difference in maintence cost of hybrid vehicle and a normal vehicle. Only the electrical parts are bit changed they doesnt make much difference..
