I think you meant "football-field sized", Z-man.
100,000 miles is the absolute longest lifespan of hybrid batteries, no? At which point the "green" clock resets.
Let's not even discuss the economics of "green" cars.
I have a Camry Hybrid, I was in NYC a month ago and took Several Camry Hybid cabs that had 250K miles or more with original batteries.

Sorry, not an relevant point for most drivers. Cabs are driven continuously, the drivetrain (and batteries) are not constantly cooling and heating. A constant temperature is the ideal for longevity and, with the exception of taxis, just is not reality for cars in normal use.
In aircraft, it's not flight hours as much as flight cycles that causes the aging.
