My mom has a 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid with just over 100k miles.

Having learned a lot about my Insight since buying it, I'm wondering what her endgame is going to look like with her hybrid battery.

Right now her car is operating 100% okay, but everything is out of warranty. She says that one of her battery cells was replaced under warranty a year or 2 ago, but only 1 was bad the others have not been touched.

What I want to know is:
- How much do new batteries cost, and is there a superior replacement?
- Can the car be driven w/o hybrid functions?
- Are there ways to preserve the battery as long as possible?
- Has anyone ecomodded a Fusion?
