2nd Generation Toyota Aqua Released July 2021 in Japan
- Original Aqua/Prius c was designed for familiarity back 2012 (turn key ignition, gated shifter instead of push button start and electronic shifter). This appealed to middle and older aged owners to who wanted familiarity
- Since then, the Corolla and Yaris hybrids have taken over the role of the "familiar vehicle but just happens to be a hybrid" so that allows the Aqua to take a different direction
- Next generation aiming to differentiate itself from the Yaris - aim for a higher grade (or more premium environment)
- It'll use the newly developed "bipolar nickel metal hydride" battery. A "business" grade will use Li-Ion (I take it "business" to mean a "commercial" version)
- EV mode max speed expanded to 40km/h (Ed note: still slower than the Gen 2 Liftback though lol)
- Targeting 35.8km/L in WLTC testing mode
- E-Four will be available
- New...

EV Ford Mustang; Production Exceeding the Gas Version
Ford Production of Electric Mustang Exceeds Gas-Powered Pony Car - Bloomberg
They say they'd build even more . . . but apparently the manufacturer's supply chain isn't prepared for plug in car production. (sounds familiar of at least one other manufacturer) Maybe it's just chip production?

When are the counterfeit OEM and C.A.R.B catalytic converter's coming?
It's got to happen and there is a lucrative market for them. They can make anything in China and smuggle them through Customs.
All they need is enough precious metal to pass the smog test and most $130 cats from Canada and China will do that.
How about a cheap kit to etch OEM or approved ID numbers onto cheap aftermarket cats?Georgina Rudkus May 8, 2021 Prius, Hybrid, EV and Alt-Fuel News Read More Views: 2,676 Likes: 0 Replies: 3 -

1 in 5 Californians have swapped their EV for a gas car — and this is to blame
This article from Tom's Guide pretty much echoes my reasons for waiting to get a BEV. I'd like one, but the system isn't ready for what I would need when I make treks way off the beaten path. Hence the PHEV gives me the best of both worlds.jerrymildred May 5, 2021 Prius, Hybrid, EV and Alt-Fuel News Read More Views: 10,901 Likes: 3 Replies: 136 -
California APPROVES Aftermarket Catalytic Converters!
California was known not to legally sell aftermarket catalytic converters and anyone who’s cat was stolen had to pay for a brand new original catalytic converter from Toyota. Now the state of CA Air Resource Board has approved an aftermarket catalytic converter to be sold and installed on any Prius. This is great news to owners who don’t want to spend $2,000 at Toyota! the aftermarket cat. number has to match the state database and needs to have the Executive Number D-193-151 on it.

Elephant in the room - bz4x
No threads about the elephant in the room? As long as it's priced competitively and produced in sufficient numbers, it should be one of the best sellers when it comes out.
