    I was wondering what are some of the names of companies that supply components for hybrid cars. Specifically, parts and components that are not found in traditional gas guzzeling cars. Example; names of battery mfgs or names of manufacturers of other technologies & components of the Prius that I am not even aware of. If I knew a few of the technological terms I could Google it. thanks, Moby
