Quote:

The feds, who will put an initial $3 to $3.5 billion on the table, will own eight percent of Chrysler (and the Canadian government two percent). An additional $4.5 billion will be forthcoming...

And then this:

Quote:

ENVI has delivered four battery electric Town & Country minivans to the U.S. Postal Service, and another 24 are planned.

And people get upset about Tesla asking for a loan!!!?

Oh yeah, Chrysler wants that too.

Quote:

Expanding the program to 250 vans, as Chrysler has proposed, depends on Department of Energy grants the company hopes to obtain by June.

This is good news. EV world really needs A123 to massively increase production and hence drop prices. Their quality is already topnotch.

I heard on Detroit-centric Talk show Host complaining about Tesla's 6000+ batteries and how it could not work.

There are eight A123 batteries in the video. At what point does "too many" start?

*********************************

Imagine the Tesla did not exist. Now say this "8 Battery" scheme was announced. Wouldn't there be cries of "it'll never work" about that count?

It's EIGHT times more complicated!
