Do you really think GM, who is trying to promote these vehicles has an interest in screwing consumers on a product it is pushing? You do realize the design, currently never allows the battery to draw only 40% of its capacity? You do realize there are much bigger, more sophisticated batteries in marine, aviation, and other applications with much higher capacities, that are well over a decade old and functioning perfectly well.You do realize, the Chinese sold 18m cars this past year, all waiting for fresh tank of gas, and you realize we have to start somewhere? Of course you do realize nobody from our utility company flew an airplane into the WTC on 9/11? This is what I mean about research, before classic assumptions that the battery will need to be quickly replaced.
