, even if it is a 100000 vehicle I wouldn`t want that battery, lithium sucks in the winter . the battery would have to have a built in heater to keep it warm up in the north here . I guess it would be alright if you just drive the vehicle in warm climates.
this from GM- Lithium-ion batteries have some drawbacks. They don't work well in very cold weather; they generate heat and need a way to be cooled; and they cost more than other batteries. But they are lighter and smaller for their power, so carmakers like them because they don't have to waste a lot of space on a huge battery.
