Toyota plug-in

Re: Toyota plug-in
The lithiums should be somewhat smaller and about half the weight of the nimh pack we now use. Looks to me like the increase in price for a plug-in hybrid car, would be the newer lithium traction batteries and the charger that would accompany them.

Lithium's are not half the cell volume per capacity, but could be nearly half the total battery volume due to more efficient packaging (flat cells rather than round can cells). However, there is a lot of other factors, such as cooling requirements that will have an impact. Half the weight is a good rule of thumb for these cells.
