Well if the PHEV Prius didn't cost $8K more to shove 3 extra kWh into I'm sure more people would be buying it. $8k for 4kWh of lithium is rediculous. I can go buy automotive grade lithium for half that, and they're taking out 1kWh of nimh to do it! The price is rediculous. If it were $4k more that would at least keep it under the $30k mark.
