I know their coming and but it's the battery's that concerns me and every year

Your Thoughts Please.

I have a 2004 Prius with 630,392 (no thats not a misprint) miles...Orginal battery....56mpg. I did have to replace the little 12v accessory battery though.....and 7 sets of tires!!! I use it in Northern Minnesota at our lake home....it starts just fine at -40 (no that's not a misprint either). My Ford V10 plow truck has to be plugged in and the battery heater plugged in to start at those temps
I also have a EV, and like the ones who have them post, 99% of the time the driving you do will allow you to re-charge in your garage at night.
From your garage door opener to your washer and dryer to your electric toothbrush, just think of how many electric motors you have in your house that you use every day and depend on. Electric motors are bulletproof, and the new batteries are there too, and getting better.
Gas is $7.00/gal. Don't use it....don't care!!!!
