[edit] Chevrolet Volt

Compact Power, Inc. (CPI), a subsidiary of LG Chem, based in Troy, Mich. announced in a press release dated June 5, 2007 that it has been chosen by General Motors Corp. to develop a lithium ion battery system for the GM E-Flex platform propulsion system. The E-Flex electric vehicle architecture underpins the Chevrolet Volt concept car that GM plans to produce in 2010.[3]

GM is also testing batteries from a partnership of Continental AG and A123Systems and has not selected a supplier as of 2008-08.[4] GM spokesman Robert Peterson told Wired.com "There's a chance it could be both," adding that GM's goal is to offer a battery that'll last 10 years or 150,000 miles.[5]

[edit] March 2008 fire

A fire that broke out on March 8, 2008 at LG Chem's Ochang plant severely disrupted battery supplies of several major laptop vendors, notably Asustek and Dell.[6]
