However, Pike expects hybrid locomotives to have a strong return on investment (ROI), as a result of the ability to use low-cost batteries. Nickel metal hydride (NiMH), a favorite for current hybrid automobiles, is unlikely to move into the locomotive space due to cost and competitiveness from other chemistries, Pike suggests.

Manganese is also abundant and low-cost and with the use of proprietary additives, CPI believes a calendar life of more than 15 years is achievable within a vehicle with proper design and operation. For the Volt, CPI is using manganese-spinel (LiMnO 2 ) which features high stability and resistance to thermal runaway. Earlier post.).
