    I think Toyota considerations for new PiP battery size will be mainly two:
    Space utilizing with minimum compromise in utility.
    Driving efficiency (and emissions). Electricity is getting greener worldwide, so larger battery makes sense, but I don't see them prioritizing EV range over efficiency with too large a battery - it's a Prius first !
