At least! That was estimated. I was looking up this A123 company that GM has "contracted" to make batteries, and their claim to fame is - read it slowly - Nanophosphate Lithium Ion batteries. I'll admit, I have virtually no idea what that means, but they advertise a motorcycle (on their site) that used these battery cells, and it got near 800 lb/ft at the rear wheel :eek:
This was a hopped up battery, of course but that's what's great about these "Nanophosphate" batterys; they have been proven to offer tremendous power, a charge of 5/6 minutes compared to an equally strong Li+ battery's charge of 90 minutes, and 10x the life of Li+ batteries:eek:
Try to swallow that whole
And as for the Pretty little prius (sarcastic), The Volt isn't designed at all like it, it has the potential to be completely gas-free for the full of the vehicle's lifespan!
