Bob Lutz was interviewed by the Detroit Press and the article was published today. In it he gave us some very important new details.
He told them that GM received the first experimental battery packs from LG Chem/CPI Tuesday, October 30th (cooling system not included). He also said that A123 packs would arrive in Decemeber.
He also tells us that indeed late model Malibus will serve as the mules and be up and running in the first quarter of 2008.
Furthermore, he goes on to say the production model Volt will have a “more traditional” front end, definitely be called the Chevrolet Volt, and that he hopes for 60,000 to 100,000 vehicles to be produced in the first model year.
My hearts pumping, how about you?!
