Just wait for the battery replacement cycle when it hits over the next few years.

Now, you think all this is propaganda, but that hydrogen is going to save us?
Anytime we can reduce our dependence on oil, the very oil we are buying from the terrorists that are killing our sons and daughters...YES!!
