Personally I would not jump on this so fast. There is a very high
probability of these vehicles developing problems with their new systems.
One of the many big questions is how many charge-discharge cycles the
battery packs are going to be good for and what the cost of replacing the
battery packs is going to be. Anyone who has owned a laptop computer and
used is on battery power regularly should know that replacement battery
packs can be very costly.

I for one would not be an early adopter of this technology, especially on a
new application.
