Sudbury in the news again
Some of us are old enough to remember a Sunday Mail, hit piece that claimed Prius NiMH batteries had turned Sudbury into a 'moon scape.' The article was a lie that a slander suit caused its retraction:
Common Prius Myths | Prius Wiki | Fandom
Prius battery nickel destroyed Sudbury Canada - this complete fabrication appeared in the Sunday Mail but unlike the USA, Canada and the UK have libel laws with teeth. Upon threat of a lawsuit, the Sunday Mail withdrew the article[1] after it escaped to the Internet. A corollary is that shipping nickel from the mine through processing consumes huge amounts of energy negating the Prius mileage savings. However, Sudbury's mining environmental problems occurred 30 years before the first Prius rolled off the line. At maximum, the Prius traction battery is less than 1% of the mine output with most of the nickel going to stainless steel and consumer batteries in cell...bwilson4web Oct 1, 2020 Prius, Hybrid, EV and Alt-Fuel News Read More Views: 1,189 Likes: 0 Replies: 0 -

Toyota EV market innovation
From this recent article from investor relations company S&P Global -
"Meanwhile, Japanese carmaker Toyota is planning a late foray into the battery-electric vehicle market, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence. Despite having pioneered emissions-reducing technology in its first-generation Prius more than 20 years ago in 1997, the company doesn’t plan to produce any battery-electric vehicles within the next five years. Instead, Toyota is planning to produce 1 million battery-electric and hydrogen fuel cell car sales by 2035.
"Toyota is betting on seeing a quantum leap in its EV development and EV success from 2025 on, when its solid-state battery will arrive, and be ready for a more aggressive approach by then," Julie Boote, an analyst at Pelham Smithers, said in a research note, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence.
"One risk would be consumers in developed markets don't think of them as a [battery-electric vehicle] BEV firm but Toyota has plenty of marketing...Marine Ray Sep 24, 2020 Prius, Hybrid, EV and Alt-Fuel News Read More Views: 10,834 Likes: 1 Replies: 76 -

2021 Prius Now Available: What’s Changed?
I see on the Toyota site that the 2021 Prius is now available.
It’s always very frustrating that they don’t specify what changes and improvements have been included with new models.
Sometimes details are available via a press release. I, however, could not find one.
Does anyone know what’s new for Prius in 2021?
And I suppose this is likely the last model year of Gen 4?
