As title really. I tend to keep my vehicles for many years, and as such was wondering; if the hybrid propulsion battery were to wear out and come to the end of its useful life after, say, 20 years since manufacture, would the RX continue to function as an ICE driven car? I appreciate that it would effectively become FWD, having little or no input from the rear axle electric motor, but would the car still work, as in getting from A to B? It may seem a strange question with the possibility of replacing individual modules - if that's the correct term - of the battery, but with how little I tend to use a car, it probably wouldn't be worth it...if the car still ran.
Many TIA for your thoughts or experiences,
Steve
