The batteries are warrantied for 100,000 miles — GM clearly expects them to last somewhat longer. These batteries are much more advanced than the repurposed laptop batteries used in the Tesla.

They will be recycled. Laptop and cellphone batteries can be recycled — provided you turn them in. The Volt batteries are much larger and more expensive — people will be motivated financially to recycle them.

There are plenty of valid criticisms about the Volt — starting with the fact that they're being subsidized by tax dollars. Using easily falsified arguments doesn't help the case against the Volt.

Just repeating what I have understood. I don’t really care if I’m right, or if you’re right, or neither of us are right. I won’t be buying one, and neither is anyone else I know.

Government Motors.

‘Nuff said.
