I'm confident that GM will have a cooling system (as does the new daimler hybrid which uses te AC to cool down its JC-SAFt batteries). But what happens when during summer you park your car and the temperature goes up (? Will the AC have to run all day in the parking lot? I don't think so... A car is parked 90% of its life.

I look forward to seeing what GM does with the Volt concept, but I am concerned about the 30C (86F) battery degredation mentioned in the article. Here in South Texas the summer temps are more like 35.5C (96F) on average. It seems that this would be a problem for a production vehicle. Batteries are likely to be expensive.

You don't get smarter about the world by reading what you know, and looking for information you agree with, and dismissing what you do not agree with.
