I'll bet a replacement battery pack costs more than 5 of your Hondas. I'd also like to know how much it will truly cost on someones power bill on a monthly basis.
Agreed camd64, there's got to be a better way. I'm a big fan of photovoltaic cells and I have done quite a bit of research on it. Free electricity from sunshine? How cool is that, lol. No moving parts to wear out and zero maintenance. Anyway, aside from their cost, the biggest problem is storing that energy. Again, we're back to the battery issue. If someone could design a battery that would give back even 90%-95% percent of the energy that was used to charge it, store it for a month and not be affected by cold weather they'd be multimillionaire. Presently, any decent size battery's capacity is only 35% @ -20F vs. room temperature.
