The batteries they use is Ni-MH, same as Prius. We know Lithium batteries work because notebooks, mobiles and the Tesla sportcar uses it. So I imagine, it is just not economical yet. Whats interesting is that the two electric motor are small enough to fit into a gearbox and yet powerful enough to drive at 60km/h with 280Nm of torque each! Also, they try to keep the front:rear balance by placing the batteries at the back. probably still nose heavy though... goto:
