Those cars are going to have NO resale value. Who would want to perform a $9000 100k service? (Meaning replace the batteries out of warranty.) Plus the above mentioned battery disposal issues. All to get roughly the same gas mileage as a diesel Jetta on a good day, but more typically a Corolla or a Civic HX. :rolljerk:
