    but are worried about running out of power on the road, as can happen with pure electric vehicles.

    Stab at the Nissan Leaf there.

    One thing that never seems to be mentioned is the cost of electricity at the charging station.

    I also wonder of it is greener to use electricity produced by Tepco generators, which include, as we now know, far-from-green, environment-destroying nuclear generators, oil-powered generators and so on than using petrol or diesel engines.

    Has anyone come up with environmentally friendly ways of disposing of used batteries?

    Keeping your car going as long as possible is probably more environmentally friendly than scrapping it and buying a new one.
