I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

It's all fun and games until you need a battery. Then the 50 mpg savings disappears! There's a place in Georgia I found out about, that will come to you and replace the battery. They have a big warranty and prices were pretty cheap. I had a mechanic telling me about it. I know that's vague. I'll try to find the details.

Toyota has a 10 yr 100K mile warranty on the batteries in their hybrid vehicles (at least my wife’s does). Doubtful she drives more than 10k/year. So guess I will cross that bridge in 10 years. Current cost to replace is ~$5K (not $30K). Not sure what the cost will be in 10 years but I do know car manufacturers are making more and more vehicles with Hybrid motors (not all electric motors). Seems to make sense…best of both worlds. Cost of batteries is likely to come down, but I could be wrong.
Not trying to convince anyone of anything. To each their own. I had similar thoughts, but after studying up on the subject have changed my mind. The lower cost of ownership/gas for my wife’s vehicle right now helps make up for high cost I have.
To OP’s original question…Yes I do feel like I’m driving a golf cart at times. Doesn’t really bother me though.
