Re: Volt battery testing started
 I will be more than happy to back her up since I am a former GM channel partner employee. Let me state the FACTS: Billy Boy
-GM is getting kickbacks from big Oil..
Must I remind you who owns the patent rights for the nickel metal hydride battery- Chevron/Texaco. Although GM owned 61% of Ovonic Battery Corp., they determined it was in the best interest of US to sell one of the most critically required of an EV – the batteries to BIG OIL. Hmmm, seems like Big Oil to me. Not only do they own exclusive rights to the battery but they made the determination to dismantle and destroy the EV-95 AH battery. Oh and by the way the patents are not expiring until 2015.

-GM destroyed all the blueprints for the EV1..
Why don’t we all make a request to Iron Mountain for configuration managed PDM Engineering documents of the real EV1 name- the GM Impact? This is the location that maintains all data center backups of the datasets. Good luck with that one!
-GM had the technology for the EV1 then..
Let me correct you further. It was not GM that engineered the EV1, it was AeroVironment otherwise known as the GM Impact, in a last ditch effort to meet the California error resource board zero emission mandate.
-the Volt, if it comes to the market, it only available by lease..
The Volt lease was confirmed by numerous GM representatives. And, it will be a closed end lease (no option to buy). This is the only way GM can remotely have any luck of being successful with the Volt due to the high cost (which is currently projected at $48,000 and supposedly 2 years away). Oh and by the way, closed end lease means – you will have no legal way to keep the vehicle at the end of the lease, this guarantees GM full control of the fleet. If GM determines they want the Volt vehicles back, you MUST return the car – no questions asked!
-if the Volt is successful and there is a need, GM will take it back from you and crush it, just like the EV1..
Let me just point out one fact Billy Boy – let’s not forget taxes which comprise a good bulk of the fuel price consisting of local, state and federal taxes. All GM has to do is lease ONE vehicle to fulfill all of their requirements to delivery a product to the public. I do not know if you have ever seen one but who know drives an EV1? We had two good friends that had EV1s (1999 and a 2000 model) which GM abruptly taken away from them without explanation. GM did confirm that they recycled 100% of the EV1s using standard automotive salvaging methods “crushing the vehicle”. Haven’t you visited a junk yard? Why don’t you take a look at this link and tell me whose side they are on? I can assure you that it is NOT yours!
