GM wants to give Toyota a jolt with its electric Volt [1]

The battery-testing facility at General Motorsin Michigan is working 24 hours a day, seven days a week on the Chevrolet Volt, the electric car the company this week described as its "number one priority". The US carmaker is developing the Volt and its still-unproven technology in parallel on one of its briskest development schedules ever. It aims to start selling the car by late 2010 and, in so doing, wrest industry leadership on environmental issues from Toyota, its archrival.
