GM Ditches the Gas Tank in Its New Electric Car

GM Ditches the Gas Tank in Its New Electric Car

It seems few consumers want range-extending gas engines in their electric vehicles.
General Motors plans to sell an electric version of the Spark, a mini-car that it currently sells outside the United States. GM will sell the gasoline version of the Spark in the U.S. starting next year, and will follow with the electric version in select U.S. markets and around the world in 2013. The electric Spark will be powered by batteries made by A123 Systems, based in Waltham, Massachusetts.
