(Believe me, if you want greater advance-systems-training-success for the accurate diagnosis of your vehicle's highly advanced systems, the above question should be relentlessly addressed). What can be *done* to help in the reduction of costing for the battery pack for the Volt, such as helping whichever battery suppliers know that additional "economies of scale", (if raw material supplies and production capacities permit) be assured them for a far, far massive demand in their economy-of-scale for their productions, such as many more of us wanting to buy anything from high-end-cost power tools as we can today, as well as not-so-high-end tools such as very powerful flashlights, or automotive jump-boxes with all-in-one built-ins, etc., even if these products retail at a far higher retail cost? Sending emails to potential Home supplier Department store purchasing departments and tool company purchasing departments with requests that some products offered for sale to us be considered to be manufactured with the same battery as the Volt may utilize (again, keeping in mind available capacities in our hopes/expectations), that "spin-off-product" production of the cells may be of indirect assistance in the lowering of the cost of the Volt. An industry-standard-format cell (although maybe of differing chemistries if need be) may easily help reduce production costs. These are things we can * do * *now* if we can be assured they may be helpful to some of the concerns in the postings here.

Look what happened to the EV1 battery? The technology was bought by Chevron (IIRC) and they haven't made any of it available for sale. Isn't it amazing that in 10 years that proven, working, successful technology hasn't seen the light of day again? By going with a well-financed company like LG they are making sure the same thing cannot happen again. Let this be the lesson learned. Big Oil cares about Big Oil. Not you. Not the car makers or our economy (recent events should prove this). Not our future or environment. It's all about the "benjamins." And they will do ANYTHING to make sure that you stay addicted to their poison. Battery Electric cars are our only hope of escaping their grasp. =No Plug, No Sale! Ever!

It may increase the cost... but it will increase the range of teh vehicle and save some extra dollars in the long run.

Instead of a sport car-like body, it now looks like a Prius! I’m very disappointed at how different the body style is from the prototype. Instead of a sport car-like body, it now looks like a Prius!
