The article listed says GE not GM.

Didn't Ford have the Think! program? Then they scrapped it, crushing many, then finally selling all the remaining to Norway?

I'd so get an OX! THIS is what the future will be. I'll try to not get back on my 'not-a-GM-fan' soapbox, with their lack of green (both environment and $$$)

A123 is supplying the Lithium phosphate L5 addon pack from Hymotion for the plug-in Prius conversion.

It is indeed expensive times for EVs or plug-ins, but exciting all at the same time!

IIRC, from WKTEC, the Thinks all went back to Norway and never went to the crushers.

Sorry I didn't have the links on my previous post. More info per Google is available. Maybe more current info is available?

I need to watch Who killed The Electric Car again...just to keep these type of things fresh in my mind. motivates me beyond anything else to pursue a plug-in conversion or a true EV...

So Ford crushed the Thinks, and my memory is failing. In both cases, I'm not surprised. But I don't remember why.
