A123 recieved a grant and part of an approved loan.
I believe Johnson Controls will be purchasing the automotive related assets of A123. So the technology is not lost.
Too bad for all the help GM recieved they had to decide to use a foreign supplier for batteries. So much for all the GM talk about saving jobs in America. That is all fine until is costs a nickle.
$157 is a steal. If you put $200 in gas in your tank you could have a Volt $157 and fuel it primarily with $40/mo in electric and basically have a new car for free. No range limitation but burning gas is more expensive only when needed. Eventually people are going to figure this out.
