3. I just ran a few numbers..

If you drive 12,000 miles/year at 30 mpg your gas will cost $1600 per year at $4.00/gal..

If you could save 75% of that with a system like this then you could recoup the cost in about three years..

The motors and controllers should last essentially forever and you could upgrade batteries as you wear them out.
