Still doing fine. They're warrantied for 8 years, so at 7 years it's still like new. There have been a couple of recalls for battery controllers, which this one has had done, but other than that, just charge and go!

I've only got 44k on mine and I know of a lot of them at this age that have 100-150k miles on them, so I really haven't stressed the batteries anyhow. Earlier cars have gone even farther with a few hitting 300k miles.
