New Electric Car Battery!
by JS
Just saw this on Slashdot. Clicking through to the press release reveals:
A123Systems and Cobasys Partnership to Supply General Motors with Lithium Ion Battery for its Plug- in Hybrid Development Program
Cobasys Partnership is of course the same Cobasys Partnership that supplied Li Ion batteries for the original EV1. Incidently, Cobasys is now wholly owned by Texaco, which among other things, mandates that cars which use their batteries also burn a certain percentage of gasoline. I’ll get excited in about 18 years when the patent runs out.
