"Full-scale production of lithium-ion batteries would start in 2010, Toyota said on Wednesday, declining to disclose planned output capacity." Here is the link: Toyota building better batteries in push for more electric cars To me the recent reconfirmation for Lithium Ion production indicates they have confidence the battery chemistry, packaging, controlling, cooling, etc. will work. In other news reports they communicated that for them (Toyota) a new battery technology would need to last the life of the car - so to be this far along is impressive and exciting. Eric |
