According to Automotive News, Toyota has taken up the topic, and revealed that it did indeed find that during the "materials manufacturing" stage of the Prius' lifecycle, it is worse than average for the class in five emissions categories. Toyota has used the results in its redesigns of the Prius, along with other hybrids such as the Lexus RX 450h and Lexus HS 250h.Can you provide any citations to this opinion?
2008, 120,000 miles, ZERO CEL, still going strong. I will replace vehicle before considering any repairs.According to Automotive News, Toyota has taken up the topic, and revealed that it did indeed find that during the "materials manufacturing" stage of the Prius' lifecycle, it is worse than average for the class in five emissions categories.

And this does not include anything of the batteries needing to be replaced, Remember batteries have a life cycle. How many miles are you boys getting from your prius batteries and how much is the replacement cost today?
And you do realize as your batteries near the end of their life cycle they lose as much as 30% of their energy, and need recharging more often. Oh and be careful not to push the performance of that battery too far, ever see what happens when a lithium battery catches fire?
Hydrogen and oxygen powered.
Called Prius.I believe the future for the electric vehicle to be a small internal combustion engine used to power a generator to recharge the batteries.
Prius incorporates regenerative braking.I think it would be really neat to see the energy used from halting used to reaccelerate, whether it be electric or hydraulic.
Stress on grid maybe mitigated by staggering charging times?Peak time energy shortage across the globe is a real problem, cant be tying vehicles to the grid.
A Chevy Volt then!I believe the future for the electric vehicle to be a small internal combustion engine used to power a generator to recharge the batteries.

No have little truc or tolerance for stupidity.You appear to exhibit anger issues with Yankees?
