Perhaps you've checked on this since you are considering the vehicle: 
How long do they rate the life of the battery systems and what's the 
estimated cost to replace them when the time does come?

I have not seen these cars up close at a dealer but there was one nearby 
in traffic a few weeks ago. Nice looking vehicle and it seemed to be 
handling frequent accelerations very nicely.
