Toyota ups green car race with battery plant

Toyota will build a new
$192 million battery plant in Japan for nickel-hydride batteries.

And, it’s supposed to be eyeing a 2010 date to start work on a lithium-ion battery plant. I imagine Toyota has been doing it’s own quiet, close-to-the-vest lithium-ion research.

Meanwhile, Wired continues to show some sort of anti-green bias by calling Prius a “niche” market; this after 500,000 have been sold in North America. Is the Ford Extinction a “niche market”?
