engine. The primary power source is a large lithium ion battery (lithium ion batteries are typically found in small electric appliances such as cell phones). The battery can be charged by plugging it into a wall socket for six hours; when fully charged‚ it will fuel the car for 40 miles‚ which is less than most people’s daily commute. After that‚ a gasoline engine kicks in‚ providing both drive power and recharging the lithium ion battery. GM estimates fuel economy will be over100 miles per gallon

People are more concerned about the global warming problem‚ so they try to reduce their consumption that is the cause of this problem. - The reducing in cost of manufacturing lithium ion batteries and the more powerful of battery. This factor helps reducing the cost of Chevy volt and maintenance cost as well. 3. The impediment that existed with GM is the vision of managers.

Lithium-Ion Batteries Rechargeable battery evolution accelerated as the world transitioned to instruments enabled by silicon microchip technology from those of bulky electrical components. Mobile devices were designed to be powered by lightweight energy storage systems. The development of batteries for this rapidly evolving market was challenging: • The nickel cadmium battery had been the only option for modern electronics for many years. It was a great improvement over carbon batteries. • Later
