Brakes in hybrid models last significantly longer than in gas models. At least that’s my experience with my RAV4 hybrid. My first brake job was at 100KM. > 60K miles
considering how expensive service is now ,I think that’s just a piece of mind to have EW protection. . I haven’t pick up my Platinum yet but i will def get an EW. I figured , if I can get 8-10 years of peace of mind for the price of my monthly salary , why not get that insurance
