A plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) contains both an electric powertrain and an internal combustion engine. Many people have an exaggerated perception of the fire risks of EVs because they use lithium-ion batteries. The high voltage systems pose little to no risk of electric shock, either while driving or recharging.

The 2011 start date has been chosen to coincide with theexpected introduction of a wider variety of electric and plug-in hybrid carsin Britain. Variations of lithium-ion batteries, as used on a smaller scale in laptops andmobile phones, are seen as the next big step. Is it becuase US market prefers a "home" product?

The MiEV runs on a lithium-ion battery pack that can be charged in seven or so hours on a 240-volt line. Today we could be using lead-acid EVs, lead-carbon-acid EVs, or nickel metal hydride or lithium-ion hybrids. Then I recall that my laptop batteries barely ever last four years.

Last year Oregon had also aggressively negotiated with the Chinese carmaker, BYD , to manufacture its line of plug-in hybrids in the state for sale in the U.S.) If these companies are ultimately successful and can convince EV manufacturers to ditch lithuim ion, we could depend on the already robust recycling program.
