Another Prius-battery delay denial
Everything is right on track?Another Toyota excecutive, speaking anonymously, told the AP that delays in lithium-ion battery production are not delaying the launch of the third generation Prius. The executive further stated that Toyota engineers have long been aware of the potential problems with lithium technology, such as were seen in Sony laptops and cell phones.
"The Toyota official, who requested anonymity because he is not authorized to speak on the matter, said various innovations for the next Prius are being considered — not just the lithium-ion battery."
With sales higher than ever for the Prius, it seems Toyota has no reason to be in a hurry at this point in time.

It'll be interesting to see how the future Prius batteries are designed. I've been keeping track of the improvements as new models are rolled out.

I think it will particularly interesting to see if Toyota will seek to establish partnerships with companies not using cobalt-based chemistries.
GM seems to think they have a more viable advantage with alternative lithium chemistries. It should be very interesting to see this play out.
