I've heard an argument that it pollutes more with the hybrid battery to manufacture, but NiMH is not toxic and is recycalable.

Delta Flyer has a good point, and perhaps the might think you're loaded down with an out dated bank of lead-acid cells like the old EV's?

If possible, you could always point them to GH and they can see all the info related to these vehicles, or at least the mileage database.

Efficient drivers do it better.
