Cars that must be driven 500,000 miles to recover their added cost.

Your 'costs' are for what - the current costs of OE materials and replacement batteries and fuel?

With improved manufacturing methods those costs can plummet ...

Any predictions on where the cost of fuel will go?

Yes, I predicted $5 a gallon by 1990, back in 1974.
