Ran across this interesting tidbit.  I wonder if the talk actually matches the activity.

Q&A: GM's Bob Lutz on the Volt and More - US News and World Report - 16 Nov 07

"[USNWR:] So of all the different technologies GM is working on, how would you prioritize them?
 [Lutz:] Electric. Advanced hybrid. Plug-in hybrid. Advanced clean diesels. And far out, there's hydrogen."


So does GE (but not Ford - which used to own Think).

Think Unveils New Electric Car, GE Investment - CNN.com - 05 Mar 08

"General Electric has officially confirmed its $4 million investment in Norwegian electric carmaker Think Global, a development Green Wombat reported back in December. GE Energy Financial Services (GE) also has invested $20 million in Massachusetts lithium-ion battery maker A123Systems, which will supply batteries to Think. General Electric said its scientists will work with both Think and A123 to improve battery technology for electric cars to 'enable global electrification of transportation.'"
