All I'd like to add is: Whew do the battery materials come from, and
what does it take to build them?
I've hard a rumor that Prius batteries have a huge carbon footprint
since the materials go around the word at least once in the process
of being transformed from raw ore into a finished cell. You could
say the same about many regular car parts too, I suspect. But if
you're considering the whole cycle, you need to consider the whole cycle.
