Toyota Prius battery
Toyota Division Group Vice President and General Manager Bill Fay talked to Lou Ann Hammond, CEO, Driving the Nation about the all new 2016 Toyota Prius and the Toyota Mirai fuel cell vehicle.
The 2016 Toyota Prius comes in different models and different batteries; a Nickel Metal Hydride or a Lithium Ion battery. The NiMh battery is tried and true for Toyota, and a first for the Prius. Not all countries can recycle lithium-ion batteries to Toyota’s satisfaction, so some Prius’s will continue to have NiMh batteries.
Toyota Mirai fuel cell
Fay talks about the Mirai fuel cell vehicle and California’s obligation to create the infrastructure for hydrogen. Will Toyota be able to meet the requirements of SB-32 Zero Emission Vehicle Act if it passes?
