    Got the sodium ion ket installed yesterday for $200. Pretty straight forward operation. Car seems pretty zippy. I like that. Now what do I do with the old lithium cells? Four of them show signs of swelling.

    BTW, I have been learning to drive with one eye for about 8 yrs. Have to pass a driving test every year. I have my wife drive most of the time.

    No I'm not kidding and because he got the install done for only $200 he obviously didn't get charged for the original 4 hour quote, because the mechanic agreed it was barely over a two hour job. In other words I helped this guy save money... And what have you done on PriusChat to help people? Why so much trolling? Why not try to be helpful instead?

    It takes one to falsely accuse one...

    Will do. My wife took it over the Grapevine from Bakersfield to Orange the same day it was installed and she said it had plenty of power. Maybe we should start a sodium-ion thread. I would like to see what others are experiencing with the same kit. My little 2008 Prius has a little over 200,000 mi.
