They are just working more closely with GM now so that GM can do a better job of modeling the battery and developing the charging control. Compact Power is still in their and the two companies are actually on a more equal footing nowhttp://www.autobloggreen.com/2007/08/09/breaking-general-motors-to-work/ Actually A123 was not chosen over Compact Power.

I'm guessing that A123 pretty much had this in the bag from the beginning, and the competition was pretty much a formality. I'm no expert, but A123 has been coming up in the media alot in the last couple years and seem to be out in front of this. I'm also somewhat optimistic that this vehicle will see production. What I'm wondering is, when they say it will debut in 2010, does that refer to model year or calendar year? We could be about 25 months from being able to purchase one of these if its model year.

I thought they wouldn't declare a winner until next year? How did they choose so quickly? I thought they wouldn’t declare a winner until next year?
