So the reason they are fooling with Lithium isn’t because it’s better, it’s because Chevron-Ovonics-BAttery-SYStems (“COBASYS”) will not allow use of NiMH batteries big enough to plug in.

Now if GM helped Chevron kill the RAV4-EV, and stop the Electric car then, what makes you think it’s changed its policies against the EV now? If it were serious, it would force Chevron to disgorge (they really can’t patent-squat, legally) and use the proven NiMH.

Wakeup.

GM don’t wanna. GM aint a gonna do it.

After all, who ran his car company into bankruptcy?? NOT Toyota.

Which car company has a market value over $100 Billion? NOT GM!

It’s idiotic decisions such as those made by Lutz that has led to the most amazing example of corporate folly and failure, that took GM from a dominating position in 1959, to beggar status in 2009.

Lutz, really, should keep his trap shut; we really should re-introduce the concept of “SHAME” into business, when you really, really screw up, as Lutz and Wagoner did, you need to hang your head and keep shut up.

Nano powders can go off easier via smaller failures.

Nano powders fall into the pores of your skin and give you cancer in some formulations

Very hard to mfg. in volume

Unproven in volume use under the millionms of variables the auto market can generate.

EV and PHEV market has too close margins and too early adopter requirement to risk failures and unknowns so “old school battries” are the only commercial option for launch.

All require massive uptake to reduce costs and there are so many “new super batteries” that massive uptake of a single one is impossible.

I believe it will take some tim, but GM share in North America is headed over 30%. Gvie it until 2015 and watch it happen.

The products GM has coming are too good to be anything less than huge winners.

Watch and enjoy the re-birth of an American icon.
