Several financial analyses have shown that once the purchase price and battery replacement costs are factored in, hybrid vehicles are not an economically superior choice to conventional vehicles.



Battery replacements, at least for the Toyota Prius, are guaranteed to last around 250,000 miles if not abused. Even then, replacements for these batteries is hovering around $1500. Hardly what I'd call inferior.
