A bit OT, but you think those batteries are going to hold up on that
Prius after 10 years? I always felt that this was the real wildcard when
it came to hybrids. Re-batterying them can't possibly be cheap (and all
those batteries are an environmental nightmare to recycle.)

I don't think hybrids have been around long enough to have a real answer
to that question. Time will tell.
