Hybrid hype?(LETTERS)(Letter to the editor)
"Which Hybrids Save You Money" (October 2008) doesn't mention the likely cost of battery replacement after five years, though it does mention that the vehicle is likely to be sold after five years. The resale would surely be negatively affected if the new owner faces battery replacement shortly after purchase.
