   Since I don’t know where else to publish this, the latest version of the Volt is going on display in China:

   Makes sense, since the cars will most likely be built there. Goodbye American jobs, money, influence, power, freedoms and so on….

   It’s time American executives learned that to buy a product the infrastructural jobs needed to create it must supply the funds. This basic premise falls on deaf ears of stockholders crying for double digit investment returns for sitting on their asses. A real leader would make the jobs at home to provide this product now. America needs it – capitalize on this marketing “no lose” angle, we all win. The Nickel metal hydride battery will work for now. Sure, don’t give up on research for improvement, but the technology to make it work is here now. Not 600+ miles on 12 gallons of gas…….but why not 400 miles on flex fuel generator with NiMH?????

   Is GM working on or do you know of any other companies working on a smaller, lighter battery that can be charged relatively quickly and does not require special charging or monitoring circuits with equal or greater power than conventional lead-acid for use in all electric vehicles? If outsourced, who is making them and when will they be available to consumers? Thanks.

   Dear Mr. Posawatz
   I am seeking information on the Chevy Volt.
   Myself, as well as a couple associates, are working on a system that was inspired by the Volt.
   This system, in conjunction with any battery package will reduce the need for automobile gas and oil by 50% in five years and up to 90% in ten years.
   Our system will help avoid a strain on public power grids as well.
   It is 100% “green” project we are developing.
   Wed. June 25th, I am pitching the concept to the Northport, Fl. Chamber of Commerce.

   Re: battery production; I read Chevy inked a deal with the company A123 for a battery that was developed here using nanotechniques (sorry, they’re privately held currently and unavailable to investors who have been watching the company for over a year). A123 is reportedly building a plant in China to produce the batterys and several other companies are doing the same.
   Open comment to anyone working on the Chevy Volt; please don’t follow the approach by Tesla (& other car developers) who insist on enough batteries to allow the vehicle to make long-range drives. The batteries in these cars account for about half of the price of the car and being able to drive those distances in a commuter car is unnecesary. Like the rest of the world, Americans can & will rent longer range vehicles for those 1-3 times a year they need to go more than, say, 50 miles. Added incentive and prediction; someone will develop a commuter car with this kind of range and because they will be able to make a profit off a much lower cost car, they will eat the lunch of anyone foolish enough to make a long-range electric vehicle.
