Here is a slightly higher resolution picture of the first Chevy Volt Battery pack (thanks to Matt Kelly – and Dave G’s processing). Remember the pack is 16 kwh, T-shaped, and roughly 6 feet long, 3 feet wide at the bar of the “T” (closest to screen) and 1-1/2 feet tall:
Don’t forget, if you haven’t already, to take our Driving Poll (last on page).

Dec 9th, 2007 (11:48 am)Yep, it’s a battery.
Lyle, thanks for the pic and for all the updates on this great site.
Dec 9th, 2007 (11:55 am)By the way, the levels on this picture are a little off, so I ran it though Photoshop and it looks much better here:

Dec 9th, 2007 (2:43 pm)Nice Dave; will replace.
Dec 9th, 2007 (3:25 pm)Love it! So any ideas what the notch in the middle is for? Or what the trapezoidal section is on the side closest to the screen? You know GM-volters love to obsess the details. Any ideas?
Dec 9th, 2007 (4:16 pm)Will the the horizontal bar on the T battery be beneath the rear seat or under the hood ?

Towards the back – under or behind the rear seat – I forget which.
Dec 9th, 2007 (8:11 pm)looking good…can’t wait!
Dec 9th, 2007 (10:49 pm)Treehugger.com is reporting:
“General Motors will be providing 100 people with the Equinox Fuel Cell crossover”
The good part is:
“G.M. will be giving the Equinox to people that have been “active in its online forums for fuel-cell vehicles.”
Be good, be active and maybe GM will give you a Volt prototype to drive in 2008/2009.

Dec 10th, 2007 (12:19 am)With statements like that, traffic will increase here by about 10,000%!
OK, all you hardworking GM engineers and management reps, I fit your profile for this vehicle perfectly, and would be proud to test the Volt from the great state of Ohio!
(I figured a shameless plug could not hurt…)
Dec 10th, 2007 (9:36 am)This morning (Monday December 10th) at 5:45am on WSGW radio 790 here in Saginaw, Michigan an ad was broadcast for the Chevy Volt! I couldn’t believe I was hearing an ad for the car. It mentioned the technology, the e-flex system and that they work working on the battery technology. The ad also mentioned that the car was on it’s way!

I heard a Volt Ad months ago on the radio in Cincinnati on either 550 or 700 (I don’t recall which), but I meant to write a post about that. Awesome, although I’d rather see a working prototype than hype.
Dec 10th, 2007 (2:10 pm)GM has some great technology competition.

Unfortunately, auto manufacuture is a DEEP pocket business so many of these technologies will be shelved.
Dec 10th, 2007 (6:19 pm)Is GM thinking about what to do with the old batteries? After all they can create serious environmental hazard. Any thoughts about recycling program?
