Odds are that the Toyota problems are that they are using the batteries which were prone to 'thermal events'. GM is using batteries that can send a motorcycle through a quarter mile in 8.5 seconds. Though I hope that they can do something to improve the life of the batteries themselves. My experience with Li-ions is that they lose half their capacity after only 1 year. That's not very promising
