Your "empty" and "full" is probably more like 30%-75%. I wouldn't be surprised if only half the usable capacity actually gets used.

You'll notice that plenty of manufacturers use NiMH for hybrids, but none use them for cars that plug in. Heck, cordless tools aren't even using those batteries anymore. All mine are lithium ion, and I've started to go brushless on some of them.
