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.
Based on data from over 36,000 Toyota Prius hybrids in our annual survey, we find that the Prius has outstanding reliability and low ownership costs. But we wanted to know if the effectiveness of the battery degraded over the long run. So we hooked up a 2002 Toyota Prius with nearly 208,000 miles on the clock to our testing instruments and compared the results to the nearly identical 2001 Prius we tested 10 years ago.
