The battery charge fee has me a bit nonplussed, though. How much do those batteries cost, anyway? How long do they last? If you're paying for it every month, do you get a new one at no cost when it can't hold it's charge as long?
EDIT: Man, I have a lot of questions.

Typically, these kinds of cars are plug-ins. The batteries are bought from Tesla Motors, a company that produces a high-performance electric car thats about $100,000.
The batteries would and should not die out very quickly. This car uses a lithium ion battery, which is better and more powerful that nickel ion batteries that the Prius uses.
As for their charge time, No one knows but it could be around 3-6 hours.
