CPP benefits are ânormallyâ payable starting in the first month after age 65. Although age 65 is a popular retirement age, it is possible to commence receiving CPP as early as age 60 or as late as age 70. Certain conditions must be satisfied in order to receive CPP before age 65.
I'm not saying that these batteries will last forever, but the general sense is that they will last for, quote, the lifetime of the vehicle.. Cinda Gobeille had to garage her Toyota Prius when the battery gave out after a healthy life of 10 years and 144,000 miles. The car looks great, she says. But without a new battery, which dealers say will cost up to $4,200, her hybrid simply won't turn on.
For almost five years, I have operated three Toyota Priuses as a Yellow Cab â with no failures. The first Prius, a 2001 model, was put on the road Nov. 1, 2000, and acquired 332,000 kms [approx. 200,000 miles] in 25 months. The components that did wear out were not hybrid related components. The battery system on the Prius is a modular system made of six 1.2-volt cells connected in series to form one module. There are a total of 38 modules in the classic Prius [1996-2003] and 28 modules in the current model.
