My 2013 and 2014 PHEVs are going strong!

We are vacationing and visiting family in Mexico City. I installed what I needed in order to recharge my car a few years ago. The 2014’s guessometer indicates 62 kms and the only time the gasoline generator has ran since we arrived in the city Jan. 14 was when I took the 2014 for its required pollution test. Today the air pollution was so bad the government announced a mandatory stoppage of a bunch of cars from traveling in the city but not mine.

Do those have Lithium batteries? Our Prius had NiMH, which have lasted 13yrs. so far, but that's a whole different thing.
Plus, does everyone in Mexico remove their emissions equipment, or do they just not require it there? Every single car we've noticed in Mexico has been crazy stinky.
