Hybrid Batteries That Won't Explode

You read a headline like this and your first instinct is could I be about to explode. Of course this is America so it's never as dramatic as they make it out to be.

The problem of course that they are solving doesn't exist except in batteries used with personal upgrades to your car. No manufacture is putting Lithium Ion batteries in their cars yet. I know it's a common upgrade in the PHEV upgraded cars. I'm curious to see a standard conversion that only involves stepping up to Lithium Ion instead of the extra batteries that should give you a triple the available charge. I'd like to know what the numbers would show for that upgrade.
