which pruis's still use Nickle batteries? awd is appears.
Note that Toyota still builds new, AWD Priuses with NiMH batteries because it finds they last longer in extremely hot or cold climates.
sorry to take the conversation away from ram, but understanding all of this will be helpful for anyone considering an electric ram imo. Especially lifesapns and replacement costs, just because you can get a pruis battery for 4 g's, don't think that will be happening with that ram battery. You see some GM hybrids and EV's replacement costs already over 20g. Looks like in cold or warm places, nickle is the way to go if you can.
