You know it's good to see GM up their game in the EV arena, but after getting massive bail out $money$ and a chunk of the $1.5T tax give away and than closing down half of their plants in the US and out sourcing jobs, that leaves a bad taste for taxpaying consumers. They need come up with something that's better than a half-a-loaf.

GM: Cadillac to be lead EV brand; new global BEV3 architecture
During its Capital Markets Day presentation, GM said that Cadillac will be GM’s lead electric vehicle brand and will introduce the first model from the company’s all-new global battery electric vehicle architecture (BEV3), GM’s foundation for an advanced family of profitable EVs. The mission o...
Davemart, with a higher energy density couldn't these batteries be smaller and connected in series to get the desired voltage with the same volume as lithium. Magnesium is a lightweight substance which makes it a plus for BEVs. I would like to know how they holds up in cold temperatures.

New cathode design and understanding of electrolyte delivers greater efficiency in magnesium-ion batteries
Researchers have achieved a significant boost in the storage capacity of magnesium-ion batteries through a new design for the cathode and a new understanding of the electrolyte. In an open-access paper in the journal Nature Communications, they report a battery chemistry that utilizes magnesium ...
Most BEV's use regenerative braking, requiring a minimized use of mechanical braking, which is a double plus for BEV's.

Georgia Tech study finds link between sulfate, metallic particles from vehicles and adverse health impacts
Metals from brakes and other automotive systems are emitted into the air as fine particles, lingering over busy roadways. Now, researchers at Georgia Institute of Technology have shown how these vehicle-emitted metals—such as copper, iron and manganese—interact with acidic sulfate-rich particles...
Doesn't the production of Aluminum require a substantial amount of energy to produce, which would add more to the GHG problem?

Ford wins 3rd annual Altair Enlighten Award for lightweighting of F-150
Ford Motor Company was the winner of the 3rd annual Altair Enlighten Award for its use of various lightweight materials to minimize weight of the 2015 Ford F-150. The Enlighten Award is the automotive industry’s first award program created specifically to acknowledge innovation in vehicle weigh...
I'd like to see a modular battery pack that could easily slide in/out and be replaced for upgrades and replacements. A lot like a cordless drill.

Study suggests OEMs should use a modular design for PHEV and EREV vehicle battery packs to offer capacity choices to customers
TCO in € cents/km of EREV as a function of battery size for users with different annual mileages. Redelbach et al. Click to enlarge. Car manufacturers should develop a modular design for plug-in hybrid and extended range electric vehicles (PHEVs and EREVs), allowing them to offer a choice of...
