This reminds me of an image I have of 'hybrid' cars. Going in, they say the battery pack WILL have to be replaced after a X period of time/use. 5 to 10 years. The replacement cost of that battery pack is TODAY estimated at $4000 to $7000. So a few years down the road if one contemplates a used hybrid, say 8 years old with the factory batts. they can figure on a $4 to $7000 expense soon. Except that by then the cost of replacement will be $20,000 to $25,000. Same as the cash for clunkers, it is a plan to eliminate the competition from used cars. Drive the new car, when its done, scrap it.
