        When your car just works, you don’t report anything. The Prius is relevant because it has a battery pack (NiMH chemistry) famous for doing 300000kms before replacement. Not sure what extra words are going to help, it’s a simple concept, don’t need to report what ain’t broke.

          I’m not sure the Prius is actually relevant to this conversation in anyway. That 300,000 doesn’t account for time, and batteries also aren’t made of the same materials. You also have Cabs upping that average, which most people are not cab drivers. And that is a significant factor, as I’m pretty sure the Prius is one of, if not the most popular vehicles for Cabbies.
