How about the people that once they realize they cannot afford the new battery, just let the car sit in their driveway.

These people just piss me off.

We have a silly man here who drives a bright green prius(sp) with a hermit the frog doll standing in the hatch back part of the car, waving to passers by. I simply cannot strike up a converstaion with this person nor do I want to.

Yes, this is true.

You should invite him over for frog legs stew.

Hybrids might have potential - recover energy when braking, charge when idling, use the battery at low speed or instead of idling. Actually makes a sort of sense.
Electric cars are coal powered (unless you are lucky, then they are nuclear or hydroelectric powered...).
But batteries do wear out, and the materials are expensive and toxic. I’d love to see an honest evaluation of battery life and savings vs. cost. I bet they are not available for a reason...
