Anderman report sees strongest growth for full-hybrid systems; Li-ion batteries for hybrids may be in short supply

Green Car Congress

Low-cost 14V micro hybrid systems and full (strong) hybrid (i.e., Although NiMH is still the dominant battery in the high-voltage hybrid market, Li-ion technology started to take market share around 2009 and is expected to continually increase its share with time. Li-Ion batteries for strong hybrids are in short supply.
