I was wondering what are some of the names of companies that supply components for hybrid cars. Specifically, parts and components that are not found in traditional gas guzzeling cars. Example; names of battery mfgs or names of manufacturers of other technologies & components of the Prius that I am not even aware of. If I knew a few of the technological terms I could Google it. thanks, Moby
Toyota: Battery - Panasonic Inverter - Toyota (I think they make their own for now) Processor Chips - Toyota (I read that Toshiba made a deal with Toyota to supply more cost effective chips) Electric Motor - Mitsubishi? (Not really sure but that's what I recall) Ford: Battery - Sanyo (Escape Hybrid) Honda: Battery - Panasonic (Insigh and Civic) / Sanyo (Accord)
