In the headlines today, some discussion of lithium battery developments.
As always, we should be careful because inventing new things that are better is not easy.
Makes sense to me Tesla planning trying these in China first...probably easier to get approvals etc.

I'm won't be unhappy if this is moved to another thread because I can't figure out where it belongs. There are more than one Toyota hybrid addressed. Ok, call it car 'eye candy:'

I assume it'll be the Sienna and Venza...

Thoughts?


It's possible both will be based on the HiHy's powertrain - 2.5 litre HSD setup. The question is whether a 3.5 litre HSD setup will continue. The reason is that there's still the RXh and will Toyota put a 4-cylinder in a Lexus product or will they continue with the 3.5 litre HSD to differentiate it from the HiHy?

If so, does that mean there'll be multiple versions of the Sienna and Venza? a 4 and 6 cylinder hybrid?
