Where we go when we die has been an age-old question, the hotly-debated foundation of philosophies and religions the world over. An easier question to answer-- and much less philosophical-- is where hybrid car batteries go when they die.
The answer to that is-- they don't really die. At least not when you think they do.
To you, the driver, your battery is dead when it is no longer providing adequate power to the motor. However, consider how much power it takes to push a car along. It's an enormous energy demand on just one battery.
So, after it is no longer useful to your car, there is still a lot of life left in it. Life that can be put to use for other purposes.
Toyota has a strong reputation as a corporation with concern for the environment. As a part of that environmental consideration, Toyota is working with Yellowstone National Park to provide fossil fuel-free power to their remote off-grid outposts.
Using 208 "dead" Camry Hybrid batteries, hooked up to an array of solar panels, Toyota is able to provide 24/7 power to Yellowstone's Lamar Buffalo Ranch.
