Hybrid battery competition simmering

But it won't boil until 2010?

It seems every few weeks there is a new battery announcement regarding hybrid cars. Samsung and Bosch have announced the latest joint venture on batteries for hybrid vehicles according to Yahoo. While exciting for fans of the electrification of the automobile, this venture, like most hybrid battery ventures, won't fully be rolling until 2010. Yes, the hybrid revolution is growing, but it still won't really heat up until at least 2010, when battery competition for hybrids finally boils over.
