16混能車僅1款慳錢

BCAA報告﹕省油5年未能賺回車價
【明報專訊】混能汽車(hybrid)售價一般較燒氣油的車輛昂貴，但駕駛這些排放較少廢氣的車主，短期開支其實未必可慳錢。卑詩汽車協會(BCAA)最近公布一項分析顯示，於本省有售16款混能汽車中，只有1款駕駛5年總開支較其相近型號省錢，部分型號更多花約2萬元。

卑詩汽車協會昨日公布一項分析，將16款於本省有售的混能汽車，跟它同一品牌最相近而傳統燒氣油的車型比較，列出它們的售價，再估計駕駛5年所花開支。

分析報告指，當中只有1款混能汽車原本售價和5年開支估算較其相近型號便宜；平治S400混能車5年後開支連原本售價，協會預計為145,265元，傳統燒氣油相近型號的S450則需150,622元，兩者相差5357元。

協會報告顯示，其餘15款混能汽車5年後開支連原本售價，均較相近型號的貴，以本田Civic Hybrid為例，它較燒氣油的Civic EX，5年後開支連原本售價多290元。

協會此項分析所得的汽車售價是包括MSRP，並來自汽車製造商或網站CanadianDriver.com；5年開支是指原本售價、供車開支、每年行2萬公里和氣油平均每公升1.17元，但不包括維修或保險費。

協會估量每款汽車的二氧化碳排放量，並發現8款的減排量均逾30%，而豐田Prius(混能)是較Matrix XR更可減排55%。

協會排放量的估量，是參考加拿大全國資源部門的2009消費指南或由製造商所提供的數字。

卑詩協會傳訊及政府關係總監阿克里(Trace Acres)表示，繼先取消聯邦稅惠和之後再取消省稅回贈，要混能汽車有可較標準汽車慳錢的優勢，或許再需要一點時間，但現時可發現，製造商開始給顧客提供一些現金折扣，這可吸引重環保的顧客，在格價後有財力購買混能汽車。

So any of you drive a Hybrid now? Do you find this report real or inaccurate?
Do you think you save a lot of money on gas?

Hybrid won't save .... period.

Hybrid may or may not save you money, but all of them will reduce GHG emission with the comparable model.  There are a lot of assumptions in the calculation, such as the tax credit, the gas price stay the same (rather than going up within the five years), the mileage etc.

The BCAA's news release was meant to bring out the awareness that the elimination of tax credit will reduce the hybrid cars' affordability.

They all might reduce GHG emission, but are they all more environmental friendlier than non hybrids?  Like battery production pollution and battery disposal pollution?
Also, the battery starts to fail after 5 year and almost guaranteed to fail after 10 years, which creates another round of pollution.

The fact is, hybrid/electric cars can save the enviroment. It does not neccessary save your wallet.

The cost to protect the enviroment is high, and if you think you can save the enviroment by driving a hybrid, why not?

I am already thinking getting a motorcycle/scooter for summer and reserve my car for winter or pleasure use. 4 months of motorcycle insurance is cheaper than filling up the car tank for 4 months and save the enviroment a little.

I heard that the maintance of a Hybrid car is much, much more expensive, eg. exchanging battery or fixing parts.

Don't think it will save you money.

For the area I live ..  with cold winter ..  I doubt how Hyb can do ..  

For warm place, say Vancouver, should be fine ..

The real question is... does it really save the environment. unless they can produce battery without creating more pollution... it's not really saving the environment.

我覺得好多鬼佬都以為hybrid車等於環保，又或者有D更加以為hybrid車唔使點整。

我自己就真係對hybrid車既感覺麻麻地(講明先唔係以跑車既角度出發)，而係我覺得，要黎代步既話一部細cc車可能仲幫我慳到錢亦都少D 麻煩唔使一定要拎番廠俾人跟D 電子問題。

battery?   compare the regular car, how the hybrid car's battery causes more problem ar?  never thought of it.  good reminder
