Challenges facing GM's Chevy electric vehicle coming SOON

GM cannot afford to fail with the Volt's lithium-ion battery pack. The company steeped boldly in July of this yar, announding that it will offer an eight-year, 100,000 mile warranty for the battery. What their engineers accomplished over a short period of time--when you take into acount the batteries, suppliers, electronic controls, manufacturing and dealer training, one must admit it is quite impressive.

GM engineers have also tested outside the lab. They have put over a million miles on the real-world vehicles including Pikes Peak, Death Valley, the mountains of California and the streets of LA.

I will be reviewing the test reports of this Volt battery as it may be useful for the Starship vehicle of which I am manufacturing.

Jamal:

Thank you for sharing your expertise on the electric cars.

I am very eager to find out what conclusions you come up with.

Yes, Richard....the giant automaker has invested $8 million to double the size of what was the largest and most technically advanced battery lab in the U.S...And of course, they are aware of the problem Honda Motor Co recently experienced when its Civic Hybrid batteries started to deteriorate prematurely. The company was forced to mail more than 100,000 letters to owners of 2006, 2007 and 2008 Civics warning that their batteries have a problem.
