Why is it that EVERY car companies is now talking about li-ion batteries, when NiMH batteries are cost effective, durable, reliable, safer, and proven? In 2001, GM sold the patents to the NiMH batteries to Chevron, who has sued any auto manufacturer whose attempted to make an electric car with them... I hate GM for selling the patent, and I hate GM for building electric cars now that are worse than the ones they were building 13 years ago...
