This website has pretty much the same story about EEStor that everybody else has --- BUT! it ALSO has a simple little drawing of an EEStor Electrical Energy...
I do want to believe [ok, maybe Pollyannish-ly] the statement, made by someone intimate with the VOLT effort, to the effect that, iirc, If I Recall Correctly:...
A lack of letters to this newsgroup does not necessarily mean the readers are not doing anything. This was my 'letter to the editor' that was published today,...
I actually do believe they will deliver the Volt. I had the opportunity to speak with several GM designers and the like at the Detroit Auto Show and I got a...
I am glad that somebody has faith. I retired from 33 years as an engineer with GM. Inside the corporation are great ideas. But for each "designer and the ...
...well you have an insight into the company born of your experience that I surely don't have. You do bring up an interesting point however about the bean...
That is the poetic justice behind GM. It is afraid to be new. And it lets the bean counters run the show to maximize the profits. And the profits go away as...
Matt: I agree. I think it is different this time. GM did not make these sorts of pronouncements when the EV1 came out. Plus GM is really on the ropes at the...
If you think that they will answer the question, ask them what they have done here that insures GM will be the only people making such a vehicle. Or, that...
Thanks for the compliment and sorry for the references you noted---I need to watch that in the future. Guess I was just excited about both vehicles. When in...

I want to do an interview with the folks from Altair to get more info...stay tuned. I did like what I heard from Phoenix about them...the promise is pretty...

Matt: You could also ask: "Why not launch Volt now, with the best battery technology available today, and upgrade to better battery technology when it becomes...
I have hope for the E-Flex design done as the Volt or similar urban vehicle. I have a hybrid and hope to be getting up to 30 M per day on battery by the time...
Speaking for myself, I am living happily with a 0-60 mph time of 10.5 seconds in my Prius, and I'd gladly trade GM's PROJECTED 8.5 seconds 0- 60 time of 8.5...
Here's a good "Torque Vs. Horsepower" web page: http://tinyurl.com/3cl2rf Also see AC Propulsion's tzero roadster electric vehicle. The tzero does 0 to 60 mph...
Hey thanks for the compliment....I'll be in Chicago at the Auto Show Tu-Thurs...we have interviews with GM folks lined up...Ed Peper, GM of Chevrolet, the...
I wonder what impact the budget for next year will have on American auto makers and PHEVs such as the Volt. Take a look at the Energy Fact Sheet and see BIG...
This could actually be a good thing as it may force the automakers to use existing battery technology instead of waiting for more government handouts and...
I am for one am very impressed with the GM-Volt concept. The EV1 could never be mass produced. GM lost major dollars on everyone they built. That is why it...
The battery in this car is definately unique! A battery with it's specs has never been available before. ... On Behalf ... batteries ... the blue ... steer...
Ultracapitors would certainly help with many battery technologies but with the A123 battery they have all the power density they need and them some. Now if we...
A NiMH with the capacity needed for the Volt would weigh way too much! Please try to understand the battery technology needed for the Volt is just now...

Please prove me wrong. I would love it! I have been looking really hard as have a lot of other people. I have seen a few claims IE: EEStor etc. but nothing...
