LS600hl Battery
I am looking at getting a 2008 Ls600hl and i want to know how far in distance you can go on just the elctric motor. I know you can get to 20 mph on it but for what distance? This would mainly be for stop and go morning traffic and if i could get to work on just battery (20 miles)

Does the 600 h have a dedicated bank of batteries for electric mode power?
If so, how often do they need to be replaced and at what cost?
My father is considering a 2008 600 h but is concerned about hybrid battery replacement cost.

Also, no reports that I have heard of involving hybrid failure. Warranty is 8 years or 108k miles. Hybrid battery system and inverter replacement is about $8-10k iirc.

It's about 8k to replace the hybrid system cost 4 on the prius alone! My prius died after 200k I think the LS should be safe until then as well my mothers camry has 150k no hybrid issues. They dont have a service interval but are costly. Since all these are toyota hybrids I dont see there being any issues past until 150, I wouldnt keep it that long because I switch cars every 5 years.
