Can we ask what your source for that information was? LG Chem Power Inc. is the manufacturer of the battery cells used in the Volt. If you look on the FAQ page on the Chem Power site you will see that near the bottom of the FAQ page they talk about how much lithium is required to make a 1 kWh battery. See: http://www.lgcpi.com/faq.shtml In this FAQ page LG claims that it takes .14 kg of lithium to make a 1 kWh battery. The volt has a 16 kWh battery. 16 x .14 = 2.24 kg of lithium. Thats 2,240 grams of lithium... not 4. n the article you say “The Chevrolet Volt battery is reported to contain only four grams of Lithium in its several-hundred-pound battery.” Can we ask what your source for that information was?

Matt Stroud did an exceptional job covering the information I have been reviewing on your web site. Matt also stated that the fifth group of the third day at Sacramento was the first in the nation to remove a high voltage battery from a vehicle the firefighter way. That was my group. Thanks Matt if you get this please send me some photos. Chris A. Kemp I just attended the extrication class in Sacramento. The class was great.
