The third major avenue of cost reduction is the application of mass production technology to the fuel cell stack, the tank, and other components. As an example, Yokoyama used the carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) hydrogen storage tank. The company is working to develop a low-cost CFRP for a high-pressure hydrogen tank.

There are companies that are reinventing the lead-acid battery to make it more competitive with lithium-ion and nickel metal hydride in terms of storage capacity versus weight, durability, and cold weather performance. Many of the first Prius hybrids that were released are still running strong on their NiMH batteries after 100,000+ miles.
