    It seems Chevron has FINALLY gotten out of the EV battery business. Though similar to the Prius battery, the company is most famous for making MONGO sized nickel batteries that sent the EV1 & RAV4-ev down the road for over 100 miles per charge. Just think what the Prius PHEV would do with these babies installed ... after all they're designed for much deeper discharging than the standard Prius battery.

    does this mean more freedom in battery packaging designs and options?

    Trusting Chevron to produce EV batteries is like trusting the Nazis in creating a Jewish cultural centre... LOL...
