Ice, from what little I know about it Toyota is heavily subsidizing the car to keep the price low. The combustion engine shuts down when the car isn't in motion--even at stop signs--leaving the batteries to power electronics systems. The battery system comes with a very lengthy warranty, so it appears to be a good deal to be part of the company's "trial".
