- MG3 Hybrid+ Trophy
I was recently watching a Utube video from the "I Do Cars" engine tear down expert, and he was disassembling a Prius hybrid engine which failed at 73,000 miles on it. He pointed out the meaningless nature of Odometees in Hybrid cars, as a way of actually knowing how much wear the engine has been exposed to, because Hybrid Engines do not run all the time.
This got me thinking of the situation with my MG3 Hybrid, which seems to be primarily running as an EV most of the time. Perhaps these cars need an Hour Metre, which tracks actual engine run time. My boats in the past all had engine hour metres, as this is the defacto standard for marine engine service interval measurement. What do you think?
