Welcome to a Medical Battery specialist of the Fresenius Battery
Research has already shown that 1st-gen Chevy Volt drivers drive approximately as many all-electric miles in a year as drivers of fully electric cars like the Nissan LEAF, Ford Focus Electric, and Honda Fit EV. Drivers of the 2016/2017 Volt shouldn’t have any problem matching that.
Another interesting finding, which we’ve covered before on EV Obsession, is that GM found just 2 problems per million battery cells produced after 1 billion total miles driven. That’s pharmaceutical-level quality, as Britta noted. That was better than expected, and put to rest any lingering fears regarding LG Chem EV battery with like Zoncare ZQ-1201 Battery, Zoncare ZQ-1201G Battery, Fresenius MCM440 PT Battery, Fresenius MCM440 OT Battery, Fresenius MCM550 ST Battery, Fresenius Optima VS Battery, Fresenius Optima ST Battery, Fresenius Optima MS Battery, Fresenius Optima PT Battery, Agilia Fresenius Kabi Battery, Fresenius RC1800AA05AA Battery, JMS SP-500 Batterycell quality.
Back to the Chevy Bolt, Britta emphasized that it would be available nationwide from the start. She also reiterated that it would cost $30,000 after the $7,500 US federal tax credit, and that it would have 200 miles of range.
Closing out, Britta highlighted 6 key ways to grow the electric car market. I’ll just paste in her slide on those:
Britta’s closing point was a wonderful one. She pulled it out of a Plug In America report. The point is that, if every EV driver would convince one person to buy an EV each year, in 25 years, we’d have 100% adoption of EVs.
That’s uplifting, isn’t it?
The Q&A session kicked in after that, and there were some interesting questions and answers. For example, Britta explained why the 2016 Chevy Volt couldn’t be rolled out nationwide at launch.
