Just to be clear. EV sales are still growing. Much slower than predicted 1 or 2 years ago but still growing. Many things are not ready for full EV expansion including the mind set of the majority. It appears many are ready to accept HEVs and PHEVs. 20 ~ 40 miles a day without ICE power. The traction motors are smaller than EVs because they can use the ICE motor for hard acceleration and speeds over 60 ~ 70 MPH, 100KPH this is true for all parrel HEVs. Series HEVS (where ICE only drives a Generator to charge battery) Need the same size traction motor as an EV with similar performance. Series EVs just reduce the battery size not traction motor. To the best of my knowledge the Chevy VOLT was the last EV to be series. GM changed to parrel after a few years. Several manufacturers all in Japan so far have announced development plans for series PHEVs. The world will be all EVs in the future. The question is when and what path is taken to arrive there. The path is very important to Lynas in the next few years. Long term either way helps Lynas.

the toyota rav4 hybrid battery is just too small. often you got to be really granny footed to make the most out of it. Toyota is just delaying everything to squeeze all it can from their current line up. see what the cheating scandal brings.
