No good with the Toyota hybrid with the 850cc engine and an electric motor. and a bootful of batteries.
They have a 1.8l engine. All the batteries are individual cells, they're not lead acid so don't give off explosive gasses. They could catch fire if they overheat due to a charging problem, but this is all monitored by the onboard diagnostics which will shut everything down if theres a problem. Plus they never go below 20% or over 80% charge so the risk is very small anyway.

Our Prius has a 1,500 cc petrol engine and no batteries in the boot.

It would appear you cannot trust these diagnostics to do what they are supposed to do,Tulsa driverless car report found they were wanting and allowed driver to over ride them when it should not have been possible.
