Original battery packs are doing like 500,000? miles or so in that New York cab?.
We have a cab company in Auckland that only uses Prius now. Even 1st gen Prius are on original batteries?
A guy down the road calls his Prius a 'Pious'. His tyre pressures are never checked and 1 tyre is usually near flat....
If they made a lightweight version of a hybrid I'd be keen. Dont want to go from my 640kg car to a 1400kg car, just to haul my miserable ass about town and about.
