Prius battery

"Commie Liberal", "towel heads", "MR. Bush" Wow. If the green revolution can turn even a neanderthal Republican like Maestro of New York than maybe, just maybe this earth and our species has a chance afterall.

Prius Battery

I'm no commi liberal, but I would like to see the battery that runs in the Prius, in all cars...... If possible. I'm a Republican at heart, but see the Prius as our best line of defence agains the towel head "friends" we are in bed with.

Mr. Bush, make it an executive order. Force all new cars to run on the Prius Battery.

phevs are coming but $$$$$

current price for lithium battery for phev is $10,000. WOW. Not currently economical even with $4 gas. Toyota isn't going to risk Prius repputation with either a $10G battery or an untested battery.

Prius

I think thats its good that people have finally decided to take action on this problem...Toyota is very smart I think that they will be rich in the near future-richer than they already are that is.

Chevy Volt

GM has announced that an "extended range electric vehicle" - the Chevy Volt - will be available in 2010. It uses a lithium ion battery back and can run 40 miles on battery power alone. After that, a 1.0 litre gasoline turbo engine kicks on to recharge the battery and power the car. It can run 120 mph and has a range of 640 total miles per tank (12 gallons) which means it gets close to 100 miles per gallon, including the 40 from battery alone. Not bad. It is pricy, though, and will cost around $45,000. It's no golf cart...seats 4 or 5 and looks pretty good.

We need plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) now

If hackers can do PHEV's now why cant's Toyota? Ford is testing a PHEV in California.

to Dane of LA

Why can't the program for the electric car be restarted? There in Southern California they have mass transit from natural gas, and even solar as well as the traditional. The rest of the country can learn from some of the things California is doing.

great ideas

This is really great. Why aren't American companies making these? Aren't our scientists as smart as those who make Toyotas? Don't our companies care as much about energy?

We really don't need to get more oil from the ground than what we get, we need these alternative measures so we don't need as much gas.
