I'm finding the more that I look into the Toyota Prius, the better I like the car:
Toyota has committed to a battery recycling program to the tune of $200 per vehicle, i.e. they pay me $200 to bring the car to a dealership if the battery needs to be replaced, so the dealership can recycle the battery, precisely to avoid the battery going to the landfill. With the number of Priuses on the road approaching the 1 million mark, that means their commitment to recycling batteries is $200 million, and that's just the incentive portion of their recycling program. Toyota is putting their money where their mouth is in terms of the environment.
How do I know?
