Are Hybrid Vehicles Worth the Price?

How can they have minimal depreciation? I would expect the opposite:
1. They are cutting edge on a fast moving technology front, so year to year the technical advances will be more drastic than on the traditional gascars
2. Battery lifetime has not been proven by a long history, but for all I have experienced with rechargeable batteries before, they get stale quicker than advertised.
3. As more people start to buy them, manufacturing costs will go down leveraging economics of scale.

All this means increased depreciation.
