Toyota to Test Plug-In Hybrid, Rivaling G.M.
Toyota said it would provide prototype versions of plug-in hybrid vehicles to researchers at the University of California, Irvine, and the University of California, Berkeley....The prototype plug-in hybrids will be powered by two oversize packs of nickel-metal hydride batteries
Yesterday, in Sacramento A123Systems, the battery manufacturer being used by GM for the Vue and Volt, challenged CARB not to wait for OEM plug-ins. It want CARB to authorize aftermarket conversions of hybrids with its Lithium batteries.

the correct link is www.a123systems.com , and it's a good site. A123 appears to believe plug-in hybrid batteries are ready now (and lots of other knowledgeable people are saying so too), so why not Toyota, GM, Ford etc?
