She LOVED it. Thought it was very nice, and would definately buy one. Now here is how i feel about the battery situation, yes i think the batterys technology is available or at least very close, BUT, you know as well as I do the BIGGEST mistake chevy could do is rush this car out and have it not do what is expected of it. Any kind of glitch or problem would spell certain doom of chevy. So yes, as much as I want to buy the car now, I would much rather wait till everything is tested and not have to worry wether or not I am going to be sitting at the chevy dealership getting my car fixed every other day. My 2 cents,

It is even more possible when one considers that for the first time 50 yearsfuel storage and capacity research and development in terms of Lithium batteries and such combinations are now open to a larger group of developers and researchers. This type of research is possible for exploration by damn near every one out there. It possible that research will be done by everyone out there with some will and motivation, from private companies like A123 to universities both here in the USA and Europe, Asia and every chemist with a PHD and thesis. What makes this more significant is fuel research will be subject to the fierce compition of that the digital world onced experienced. Naturally we will get more technology bang for our buck. This is huge. Sean fellow bloggers,

They have a longterm relationship with Panasonic. When last I heard, Panasonic was still working with the less stable Cobalt chemistry. LiFePO4 and Titanium spinel chemistry batteries currently produced will most certainly do the job. If we are waiting for anything it would be the manufacturing know-how and order sizes to bring volumes up and prices down. Now we're into the chicken and egg situation. GM is certainly big enough to buy the chicken. GXT: Maybe Toyota could get their hands on batteries like the A123, but that doesn’t mean they are in a rush to change suppliers.
