It's not as easy as more components = more expensive. The battery pack is much smaller. A Prius PHEV is almost 500 lbs lighter than a Model 3 and only 100 lbs

The battery pack is much smaller. A Prius PHEV is almost 500 lbs lighter than a Model 3 and only 100 lbs heavier than a normal hybrid Prius, which also has a battery pack. The MSRP is lower by almost $10k, which can cover a lot of maintenance before you resell it with less depreciation.

- lern_too_spel 1y agoYou said weight penalty and maintenance. Those things have a cost in time and money. It is less than for a comparable BEV.
