Subject: <VV> This will blow you away!













This morning I was reading this article on AutoblogGreen about GM's  

new 33,000 square foot battery test lab, the Global Battery Systems  

test lab, in Warren, Michigan. I found it quite interesting. It's good  

to know that GM is taking all this seriously. It sounds like the Volt  

and Voltec program is about the only one that hasn't had funds cut. If  

this interests you go here: http://tinyurl.com/nv6plo



But what caught my eye, was when I clicked to go into the gallery of  

pictures of the opening of the lab. Here's the link: http://tinyurl.com/lb645j



Yes, friends, they have on display there the Electrovair II !!!



If you click on the second link above, you'll see a gallery of 72  

pics. You can scroll through all of them or just click on the small  

pics of the '66 Marina Blue Corvair Sport Sedan that is Electrivair II  

(looks like Marina Blue to me).



I presume they have it there to show how long they've been researching  

electric vehicles. I didn't see anything about it in the article. But  

there you have it - in GM's newest, most state-of-the-art facility,  

built with the last few dollars of corporate money, when most other  

programs were being cut or eliminated, is a Corvair! How cool is that!!!



If you Google "Global Battery Systems" you will find some news  

releases on the new lab, but I didn't see any more on the Electrovair.  

Googling "electrovair" brings up several articles on the Electorvair  

and other GM electric vehicles.
