TLDR: Electric vehicles still win, but only just barely when you include the battery manufacturing costs.
- justin66 14y agoUnfortunately that site design appears to have been done by scientists. Wow.
- dboat 14y agoI don't think the downvotes for justin are merited. That site is remarkably ugly.
- justin66 14y agoI really do think the downvotes were unfair: that site's layout is appalling. So appalling that I could only just now bring myself to read the bit that you think supports your statement. (perhaps there's more but there's no way I'm digging through all that chartjunk) The paragraph on that page that mentions batteries is not at all rigorous - it doesn't attempt to be. The statement "It could be predicted that most Priuses will be junked at age 10 years" strikes me as pretty contentious.
