How looking at using this battery in the Volt. It gets faster recharge time and longer distance on each charge. Plus it is said to last 20+ years. Also it is an American company that builds the batteries so that will help keep the Volt more domestic than the battery companies they are looking at now.
this is a link to a story on the battery:

I looked at these guys a while back. their batteries are 2x as expensive and don't have as good energy density. that said, it might make a good unit for a straight hybrid. But then again, what;s wrong with NIMH for hybrids?
