If my memory serves me right GM (or one of the car companies) bought the rights to the battery from the inventor who is interviewed in the film and shows his invention. When they suppressed it he got the rights back and they are now used in modified Toyota Prius's which can get up to 250 mpg. They store more electricity than the ones that come with the Prius. However at the moment modifying the Prius with hack voids the warranty. This hack would make a Prius practical for anyone like me who does not do enough freeway driving to keep the batteries charged. Instead you can charge them at home.
