Hmm! Good point. Thanks! Let's say that you need to replace the batteries after 100 charges, at 300 miles per charge, that's 30,000 miles. The same interval that gasoline cars require major servicing. So, I don't think the 100 charge threshold would knock this technology out of the running. I'm sure over time it will be improved as well. I wonder what the actual range of recharges is? 100 to 120? 180 to 200? I'll have to look into it.
