    Definitively certain? No. The Toyota rep I spoke with refrained from answering when I asked during the test drive of the PHV, but given all the variables (physical size & weight, relative projected cost, nominal cell voltage and actual form-factor of the battery cells) I'd say it's pretty darn likely that it's LiFEPO4.

    Anyone heard anything to the contrary?

    We've only heard "Lithium Ion".
