Pretty amazing stuff, a pretty big step for Ford.

But, I have so many questions regarding maintenance and service.

Its a Chevy.
Supposedly the batteries last up to 10 years not sure on other maintance parts but Nissan is ahead of the game with their Leaf coming out but their battery is 10 years and 'reasonably priced' and are selling them to other companies.
