[QUOTE="FullAuto, post: 1970437, member: 5110"] I've been following the technology and couple of years now and have taken classes on these types of cars as part of my job. 2012 is a new design and the life expectancy was increased as well as the future replacement should be cheaper than the older style batteries. Currently, the batteries run about $1500-1800 as long as you don't buy directly from the manufacturer at MSRP. As the stuff improves, the cost has been dropping and performance has been increasing. I honestly am not confident that it will gain us anything savings wise. But I think it's close enough now that I won't lose anything. I was more curious about the technology than interested in being green. About the time we break even and it pays for itself is about the time we'll trade it in. [/QUOTE]
