In this instance the lot was foreign owned:

-New BMW

There is a real debate happening now re NiMH batteries (mostly in Toyota Hybrids)
& Lithium Ion batteries in plug-ins
Facts:
-NiMH cheaper than Lithium
-Longevity of NiMH proven 9nominally 15 years with fan cooling) while Lithium is not....
-Fire danger; Lithium more dangerous than NiMH of catching fire in hot weather & accident (particuluarly when fully charged)
-NiMH 50% heavier (memory controlled by computer so not an issue post 2008)

Im aware that there are many petrol heads on these threads and good luck to them
but the brute fact is that the western world is moving towards EVs with hybrids a transitional step

So if you take the bottom end of Toyota for example.

A new Auto Yaris is about $28K and its Hybrid equivalent is about $35K;
that's a price difference of $7K

Now suppose you are clocking up 20,000 ks P/A virtually all in metro
then your petrol bill on the ICE will be $3K while on the Hybrid it will be a flysheet over half that
giving a savings of say $1400 P/A

So on the petrol variable alone it takes 5 years to break even.
Of course it is difficult to forecast the respective depreciations
IMO , though, the Hybrid will be worth $5K more than the ICE
due to inevitable extra Government surcharges on ICE vehicles
and the likely increase in petrol pricing
