@99gsx4g63 That's true. Toyota actually pays you a few hundred bucks if you recycle the battery at the end of it's life. Do some research, there's been a lot of Prii that have exceeded 300,000 miles with no problems. Because it has an electric motor to help that never needs oil or tune ups, it reduces strain and wear on the engine, making it quieter, cleaner, and much more efficient. The Prius actually lasts longer than a traditional car.
@atgskater14 While I'll agree with you about the china part, everything else you've said is wrong. With the china part, that's what happens when you've got cheaper labor, but remember, just about everything you buy is from china....Prius or not.
Prius is NOT the most eco damaging car, you'd better look that up and don't 'google' it, only stupid people that don't know how to use the internet would do that.
It's also one of the most reliable cars on the road, ask any taxi driver who drives one.
All mining is not friendly for the environment. There is still going to be waste products and then you have to take account the shipping and where the nickel is shipped. One destination in which the battery is shipped is china. China has some of the loosest environmental laws in which one can infer that there is more than likely harmful waste product. not only that but all of that shipping ads up and the car is not reliable at all. The prius is still the most eco damaging car.
I know this is 6 months old...but honest, you need to educate YOURSELF!
The nickel plant in Sudbury isn't what it use to be...everything that happend, happend back in the early days.
And Toyota buys all their nickel from Sudbury for the batteries which is 4% of what they sell. Do you not realize that nickel is used for ALOT more then just the tiny bit in the Prius??
whats that ugly enviroment ruining thing?
