Default GM mulling leasing the plug-ion battery pack for the Volt?
I came across this article today at: http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/15/g...he-chevy-volt/ and http://www.gm-volt.com/2007/09/05/wi...-battery-pack/

We heard from John (gpsman1) the cost of the hybrid plus hybrid battery pack. Is GM thinking of this concept as a means to keep the purchase price down close as possible to the non-hybrid version? Maybe John can run this thru the folks at hybrid-plus for feedback?

A recent article in Motor Trend stated the Volt is scheduled for late 2010.
