How long does the Prius battery last and what is the replacement cost?The Prius battery (and the battery-power management system) has been designed to maximize battery life. In part this is done by keeping the battery at an optimum charge level - never fully draining it and never fully recharging it. As a result, the Prius battery leads a pretty easy life. We have lab data showing the equivalent of 180,000 miles with no deterioration and expect it to last the life of the vehicle. We also expect battery technology to continue to improve: the second-generation model battery is 15% smaller, 25% lighter, and has 35% more specific power than the first. This is true of price as well. Between the 2003 and 2004 models, service battery costs came down 36% and we expect them to continue to drop so that by the time replacements may be needed it won't be a much of an issue. Since the car went on sale in 2000, Toyota has not replaced a single battery for wear and tear.
A convoy of fuel price protesters' vehicles is continuing its crawl along the M4 in south Wales as a price war breaks out among petrol retailers. The 60-strong convoy, mainly lorries and farm vehicles, turned round at Newport and now plans a go slow on the westbound carriageway during rush hour. Organisers will decide whether to start blockading Pembroke Dock oil refinery. Retailers Asda, Tesco and Esso have cut fuel prices by up to 4p a litre, with BP likely to follow. The convoy is heading back to Cross Hands in Carmarthenshire, where it is understood organisers plan to take a show of hands to decide whether to start blockading oil refineries on Friday evening. Police say the number of vehicles involved is changing all the time as people join and leave the protest at various points along the motorway.
