This is not why we have no PHEV. Go back and read these from my
previous post as to why Prius is not a PHEV. Cobasys (Chevron), who
owns the battery technology, SUED Panasonic for building large
batteries for the EV RAV4. It cost Panasonic $30M, back royalties, and
Panasonic had to agree to build no more large format NiMH batteries.
They are likely limited to 10 Ahrs.

There *will* be a PHEV Prius soon using LiIon technology. Today, I
won't buy Chevron fuel nor Citgo (Chevez) fuel.

But as we know, the auto companies are dragging their feet on
implementing such cost saving technologies as plug-in hybrid cars, so
what hope does a truly revolutionary technology like cold fusion have
in this world?
(note, john has responded to my last two emails; but, because his
"reply to" is set to his name I am forwarding these to vortex. I'll
leave it up to john to respond to vortex if he wishes.)
