Chevrolet Volt Concept
Since Chevrolet Volt concept jumped onto the stage at the 2007 Detroit Auto Show, the single biggest question has been the battery. More specifically, could GM find a lithium ion battery that would provide 40 miles of range on a charge, last the whole life of the car and not rise the price into the stratosphere?
Although noone still doesn’t have any independent evidence that GM has achieved those goals, amazingly, the company does claim to be meeting its targets. The first step on the path was evaluating more than two dozen battery suppliers in spring of 2007 followed by the awarding of two development contracts in June of last year. Although Bob Lutz acknowledged that one of those battery suppliers was in the lead last June and in August acknowledged that one had been selected to supply batteries for production, no offficial announcement had been made.
