Slow Start for Lithium-ion Hybrids

You don't understand. Lithium is, like Fuel Cells, just a mythology to delay introduction of the EV.

The only proven batteries are NiMH, still running in Toyota RAV4-EV, last sold in 2002, and lead-acid.

So the fact that NO company is using NiMH for plug-in EVs, but are "researching" Lithium, indicates that they don't want to do plug-in EVs.

Those who believe in Lithium EVs, Hydrogen cars, or the Easter Bunny ... well, they can just continue to believe. Faith is free, if frivolous.

Meanwhile, we continue to drive our oil-free Toyota RAV4-EV, on excellent NiMH batteries.
