Sorry, every 100th car seemed to be a Prius(they have a car-share club there that uses them).

I wonder how they will handle pricing in the battery replacement, those high use units will prolly have battery issues earlier than usual).

Btw- what do you do with used up Nickel Metal Hydride's?

It costs about $3000 on the east coast to replace a battery pack and $4000 or more on the west coast.

They are recyclable, just like the lead-acid batteries that come out of a regular car or truck.
