Think about that for a minute.. you think a Hybrid is going to run off one little 12 volt battery? There will be at least 6 in every car and they are much larger than a standard battery.
Now add in the fact if we end up with 100's of thousands of these cars on the roads, it will be a issue. They are talking it could start to be a issue as soon as 5 years from now.
Read this page.. it's even a "pro" hybrid web page and they admit there will be a issue.

The good part is battery companies are working on more environmentally friendly batteries but we still aren't there yet.
