The VOLT Lithium battery is too heavy and too expensive.

The same weight, 400 lbs., of NiMH would yield 12 kWh, enough to go 60 miles. GM's insistence on using unproven Lithium while ignoring proven NiMH, which still powers the Toyota RAV4-EV over 100 miles, augers ill for the VOLT's future.
It's not "new and revolutionary", there have been 40-mile-range EVs around for a hundred years. All GM did was add a small genset, nothing difficult except anything GM does is wastefull, roundabout and doomed.
