We're at about the point where batteries can last the life of the vehicle. There are Prius taxis with 300k miles on them and an original battery. It takes a long time to recoup the cost of hybrid, but eventually it is recouped. Trucks would recoup the cost much faster, especially considering maintenance items like brakes would need less attention.
