cost of batteries
You are simplly parroting information you have seen here and there I am certain. Try to find facts on how often hybrid car owners have had to have their battery packs replaced. I am an Insight hybrid owner with nearly 200K miles on my car on it's orignial battery pack. Based on message boards of owners and blogs, batteries are not wearing out or failing anywhere near as often as the naysayers have predicted. Battery technology is getting smarter and more robust every year. Computerized charging algorithms have made significant advances.
