APRIL 11, 2009

Asher drives a modified Toyota Prius nicknamed the Spirit of DC and in the back this hybrid has an extra battery boost. The extra lead-acid batteries will run the car about twelve miles on just electricity and they increase gas mileage when the car's using both power sources.

The purple line shows the estimated reductions for each new generation of the Prius. Hybrid systems other than the input power-split design pioneered by Toyota 17 years ago are still in early stages of development, and present huge opportunities to reduce cost through better designs, learning, and economies of scale.

3Prong Power converts existing Toyota Priuses into plug-in hybrids that can run entirely on electricity. The same state agency that drove the electric car off a cliff is now poised to wreck a new Berkeley company that triples the gas mileage of a Toyota Prius. Paul Guzyk and Daniel Sherwood of 3Prong Power. They are innovators.

With recent improvements in high temperature life and cell safety CPI is excited about increasing Li-ion’s role in traditional hybrids like the Toyota Prius. Because what we call end of life is maybe a 25% loss of power or energy but it is still 3x more than what you get from lead acid. they need help.

Chinese auto makers also showed other types of "new energy" vehicles, including regular gasoline-electric hybrids to compete with Toyota Motor Corp.s Prius hybrid. The car, called the F3DM, was launched at least a year ahead of a similar car planned by Toyota. GM plans to launch the Volt in China in 2011.

If you just set aside the fantasy goal of an electric car with the same or better performance than an ICE powered car then we could build utilitarian short range EVs now, and could have been doing this coninually since 1900 with lead-acid batteries. Toyota still has not made any money on the Prius.

The hybrid models available today use lead-acid ornickel-metal hydride batteries that are are proven, reliable, and fairlycheap, but their limited storage capacity means that the cars’ driving rangeusing electricity alone is short. Electric cars remain dependent on the development of better,affordable batteries.

Furthermore, changing the battery pack on say a Toyota Prius often costs a fortune, at least in most European countries, so such cars better be VERY cheap, but they’re not. at least, the recycling infrastructure for the well-established lead-acid batteries is robust. In the U.S. In the U.S.

GM will leapfrog Toyota and Honda by providing an electric car to the masses by the end of next year. If the EV1 was viable (or even close) we would see Ford, Toyota, Honda, etc all with 80 mile cars right now.do In the meantime, Toyota and Honda will eat their lunch while GM pushes both E85 and pure electric. you see that?
