Many of the first Prius hybrids that were released are still running strong on their NiMH batteries after 100,000+ miles. I have an EV all composite body/chassis that goes 80mph and 100+ mile range I’d like to put into production so I think I’ll give Oregon a call. For more information, please see our Comments FAQ.
