Battery charge

STATE and federal governments tell us we should buy a hybrid, but no one has told us how much it costs to replace the batteries.

EXPERIENCE says replacing the battery pack is a rare event. Toyota says the battery lasts the life of the car, and they have sold only two replacements since the Prius was launched in 2001. In that time they've sold 10,000 cars, The two that were sold were for taxis with high mileages in Queensland. The cost is $3940, including fitting.
