(Reuters) - Toyota Motor Corp displays a plug-in hybrid car based on its popular Prius model during a press event in Torrance, California in this handout released on November 9, 2007. The world's biggest automaker said the car, called the Toyota Plug-in HV, was not fit for commercialisation since it uses low-energy nickel-metal hydride batteries instead of lithium-ion batteries believed to be a better fit for rechargeable plug-in cars.
