    My guess is availability of traction batteries will increase. This is the limiting factor IMO. Right now the new G3 Prius is sucking up all available output.

    I've heard the production plan for the consumer version plug-in is a few thousands per month for all global market.
    Since their launch plan is late 2011, I bet a few thousands in 2011.
    In 2012, it'll be 20k to 30k.

    ken will correct if i am wrong, but they should have had ability to build 700k batteries in 2009, and 1 million in 2010.

    but it will also require new models to reach those goals... new dedicated models ;-)

    How many hybrids did they produce in 2009?

    I'll believe the 1M claim when I see it. I recall about 3-5 years back the rumor was that 90% of Toyota's lineup would be hybrid by 2010. That didn't happen.

    According to Japanese newspaper, Toyota's domestic hybrid production actual/plan is...
    2009 500k
    2010 800k
    2011 900k
    2012 1100k
    I believe it was not year 2010, but in 2010's (until 2020).
