@ john35, see jimmys37 point, you did not say toyota’s hybrid’s are ahead of gm, you stated toyota’s production volume is way ahead of gm. the point is, gm wasn’t interested in hybrid’s, the volt is Not a hybrid and it is going to blow toyota’s hybrids sh*t out of the water.
i wish you paid toyota trolls would either get your facts straight, or get the h*ll of the board!
bruce g38, i don’t know battery chem either, but i do know business and faith, once these things start, they grow exponentially (sp.) (like a snowball). what gm has done/is doing, is starting that snowball.
i’m not positive, but i think there are already large fleet busses running on total electric, or electric with a generator extender, could be wrong, i read so much stuff on this lately, hard to keep it all in tact.
anyway bruce, totally agree with the last line of your statement.

James,
I dont know anything about battery chemistry but I do note the effort required to produce a small vehicle such as the volt.
Would we need new chemistry to produce 7 seater SUV for example with a 40 mile range, or an eighty seater bus.
Its seems to be a matter of power and energy density. I dont know if A123 chemistry will ever allow such a vehicle.
Large amounts spent on research now may allow larger mass produced vehicles when they are required, and that may be soon.

GM isn’t waiting for the volt to expand hybrid production.

[quote comment="15388"]How does Toyota have a “massive lead”?[/quote]

Annual hybrid production is currently around 400,000 and is expected to grow quite a bit before the introduction of Volt.

GM is starting small with Two-Mode, just a 1/10th that of Toyota.

Watch the market closely for 7 years like I have, you’ll see those same production supply & capacity concerns in time too. A hit product with orders backed up too far can be a bad thing.
