describes GM's plans to build car with A123 System Li Ion batteries


Here's another link to information about GM's 'Volt prototype hybrid
automobile dated Jan. 7, 2007.

Lutz said the engineering development of the car itself is 18
months from being completed. The batteries are about 18 months
behind the rest of the car.

How many years would that put GM's product behind the Japanese? :-(
