Another Gen 5 Rumour Article
お…おお…新型プリウスが仰天顔で登場!! 次期型発表は2022年末「隠し玉」も用意 - 自動車情報誌「ベストカー」
- Unique front design that’s recognizable as a hybrid (we all know what that is code for. Apparently there was much uproar in the BeatCar editorial department over the description of the front fascia of the next gen Prius which they have rendered on the webpage.)
- Hybrid and PHEV versions. In Japan, the PHV will be renamed PHEV to follow global naming conventions
- The Prius Prime will be focused on a premium experience (e.g. NX450h+ vs NX350h) rather than as a performance upgrade (e.g. RAV4 Prime vs. RAV4 Hybrid)
- That said, it will be more performance oriented so it might inherit a modified version of the RAV4 Prime’s system
- It’ll also continue to benchmark the VW Golf for handling and “fun to drive” aspects in the compact car segment.
- Lastly, a hydrogen ICE version is being developed but might launch during the midlife update

Who has replaced hybrid battery
I’m helping a government team considering incentives for hybrids and EVs. A common concern is that the hybrid batteries will need to be replaced within the vehicle lifetime at high cost. But is this really an issue? I see that Toyota offers a 10-year 150,000 mile warranty on the hybrid battery. And I have seen many Priuses used as taxis in Europe with many more miles on the clock and still using the original battery.
So I would like to find out who had to replace the hybrid battery on their Prius? (Not due to damage, just due to wear). Please reply via the attached poll?
Thanks in advance! -
The World Needs to Crack Battery Recycling, Fast (Wired Article)
Mildly dramatized article in Wired Magazine by Sabrina Weiss about the need to step up our game on recycling all those fancy new traction batteries:
The World Needs to Crack Battery Recycling, Fast | WIRED UK
"electric vehicles don’t emit any carbon dioxide when being driven, but their rechargeable batteries are causing environmental and social concerns of their own. They contain scarce and expensive metals. And once the batteries are past their prime, they are tough to recycle."
