Default Frankfurt Motor Show

So, Toyota, Audi, Jaguar etc. have shown their first models with lithium-ion batteries. Honda has only shown the new Insight, which apparently does not use a lithium-ion battery.

Anyway, soon enough we should have these batteries available for the CRZ.

Will you consider switching batteries?

In my opinion it's not worth switching. If your goal is to be more 'green' then replacing good batteries with better ones isn't very good. It will be a factor only when I'm looking at my next car in a couple of years.

I'd love to, but you'll need battery/motor controller changes to take advantage of it.

Agreed. This tech will mature even more in the next several years. Use what you got for now..
