Re: Lithium battery in the 08 Prius?
Toyota has to warrenty the batteries and hybrid part for 10 years 150,000 miles. They decided to do more testing before junmping to lithium.
In the mean time they just doubled the NiMH pack that has done so well and add a plug and charger. If you plug in you can get 100 + mpg on 30-50 mile trips, if not only 50 mpg. Not bad for a start.
They are taking it 1 step at a time. They also are working on a smaller hybrid about the Yaris size and other projects. In Japan they are doing more E-com small city electric cars. I can't wait for the later 08 prius and to see what they decided on for 2009.
