Is the 2009 FEH/MMH getting the 275V battery pack too? Or is it staying with its current 330V battery pack?

As mentioned, what would decreasing the battery pack size give the FEH/MMH? Room for a tissue holder or store a pair of repair gloves?

Though, eliminating the freon lines might allow Ford to offer the towing package. Right now, the freon lines and the tow package's wiring make use of the same hole, and is why Ford doesn't support both.
