This experience has convinced Toyota of three things, he said: NiMH batteries appear to be the best choice for conventional hybrid vehicles for some time to come. In addition, compared to conventional hybrid vehicles, batteries for EVs and PHEVs will be exposed to very severe usage conditions and wide swings in state of charge.
