It could be worse, I have 36,700 miles on mine today, and I got it a couple days over 11 months ago. So that means in 4 more years I should have over 200,000 miles on it. I would love an upgraded battery and the ability to both run in electric mode only as well as charge the battery.

Hopefully, one of the companies will decide there are enought TCHs out there to make an upgrade for it. if not, I would just trade it in on a newer model that has those capabilities. I feel fairly confident that they will have them in 4 years time.

But for the time being, I have no reason to think the battery won't last 200,000 miles.
