I totally agree with the concept of reducing gasoline consumption in cars. However, I am concerned with the battery packs that run these hybrids. What is the expected life for the batteries, and how much does a replacement cost? Is the warranty the same as for the overall car warranty? I have not seen any discussion on this subject anywhere.
