Its a farce, you just payed $12000 extra to save 5mpg over a good cheap economy car(let alone $20,000 over a used one). There is not environmentalist about buying a NEW car using new batteries and resources . Being ‘environmentally friendly’ would consist of buying a used economy car. Let alone the car itself, which has no acceleration, handles poorly, and has an uber-cheap interior. On long hills the battery runs out quickly leaving you with a 60hp car for the rest of the climb.
Eventually your battery will end up being unceremoniously shipped to a third world country for simple burial in the sand by barefoot children… Oh, and the sweatshop workers that build them. Yay, go Prius.
