What is the warranty for hybrid batteries on Toyotas?
Toyota's warranty for EVs is when it gets below 70% range it will be replaced under warranty.
But that does not include hybrids or plugins. Do you know what percentage they have to get down to be replaced under warranty?

Looking at the terms and conditions for the Toyota warranty, it states that the hybrid components that are covered (when above 5 years and 100,000 miles base warranty cover) includes the Hybrid Battery Control Module, Hybrid Control Module and Hybrid Inverter with converter - it makes no mention of the hybrid battery. Given that the hybrid battery is not as critical to the functioning of the vehicle in the same way as it is for an EV, it seems likely that this percentage cut-off does not apply, it will just mean that the hybrid battery will have a reduced capacity as it ages.
