Toyota announced at the Detroit Auto Show that it plans to sell lithium-ion battery plug-in hybrid vehicles to fleet customers in the US by 2010.
The plug-in hybrid typically plugs into a normal 120V or 240V outlet outfitted in household’s garages and charges the battery for the next days commute.
Testing of the plug-in hybrid vehicles started in 2007 as part of California’s Alternative Fuel Incentive Program.
