If I am not mistaken, Chevron bought the large package NiMH patent portfolio.

I just hope and pray GM doesn’t mess this one up too much. Unfortunately GM and Chevron are in cahoots to squeeze the consumer. Chevron bought the battery technology and will likely deem this a failure like the first California EVs a decade or so ago. So don’t be surprised if this turns out very badly.
However, the Toyota and Tesla monozukuri partnership producing a roadster and a sport sedan might be worth looking into.

Bloomberg says about $40k.
If true then about $7k more expensive than the Leaf outside of CA,
and $12k more expensive in CA if all tax credits are eligible.

Thank God. Tomorrow we FINALLY know for sure what the price of the 2011 Volt is going to be. Man, I’m hoping GM is going to shake up the automotive world by having an an MSRP of $32,000. That means you get to drive out of the Chevy dealership paying $24,500 after the Federal tax credits … maybe $20,000 if you live in certain states.

That would be a sweet deal. No doubt, GM would sell out every one of the 2011 Volts if they’re only making 10,000 of them. Who knows, with a price like that you might even see people lining up at their local Chevy dealer like people did for the iPhone 4 release date.

I am under the impression that the Volt will not be eligible for the tax credit, since it will not have AT-PZEV cert. Anybody know different for certain ?

Addendum: Ah, eligible for the fed $7,500 credit, not eligible for the $5000 California credit. Sorry for the confusion.
