Years ago when the hybrids came out a friend at church bought a Toyota Corolla, keep it a year after finding the batteries weren't covered by warranty after the 1st year, $6500 worth of batteries, if needed replaced, in a $12000 new car!!! The 2nd year the batteries are worth as much, if not more, than the car.
These electric cars with only a 200 mile range IMO would be great as commuter vehicles in big metropolitan areas to help reduce smog & better the air quality, but don't seem very practical as cross country alternatives & even less as tow vehicles which probably shorten their range considerably.
Not to mention all I've seen are so damn ugly.
