The unknowns might be any cost associated with disposal of the depleted cells, which are classified hazardous waste and have to be disposed of accordingly, at least at this time.
Dunno about the prices up there,,but I heard of a guy having to replace the battery in a seven year old Prius down here in NZ,,and a genuine Toyota battery was around $7000,,a pirate battery being around $3500/4000..No thanks,,stick with my Petrol/LPG engines..
