Are you planning on getting into many head on collisions or something? Perhaps you should read about the collision and what cars.com had to say about it. You know, the ones that were driving the car, not some second party entity. From cars.com:

Though it cost more than the initial estimate, we were pleased to determine that the cost to repair a plug-in car wasn't as high as we had feared. In fact, it was only $2,181 more expensive than it would be to repair a 2011 Chevrolet Malibu subjected to a similar front-end "hit," according to West Loop Auto Body, which restored our Volt.

A cop I know form a 3 square mile city told me that their patrol cars drive about 100,000 miles a year. They are going to need to come trade in their car for one with a fresh battery 5-6 times a shift.

If it was good enough for the NYPD, then the entire
New York city government should get the electric "Chair."
