The servicing of battery pack is one issue: another is - like the Denali XT concept - that evey kilo of battery is one less of load. I'd rather they worked hard on tech to reduce carcinogens and particulates in diesel to achieve clean oilers.

I agree with Space Cowboy - test after test here and overseas has shown small diesels of equal load capability (oassengers and load) knock the Prius and Civic into a cocked hat for economy even around town, but especially on the open road. They're lighter and simpler and simply go better.
