Amidst the well-deserved hoopla about GM's plug-in serial hybrid Chevy Volt , Ford is touting its own equally ugly plug-in hybrid concept car. GM's vehicle is eminently buildable today, as it relies on two energy sources that are available: grid electricity and gasoline. Not to mention the cost and unavailability of hydrogen.)

Lutz responds to the sense that GM might be pulling back from its commitment to the Volt that resulted from Sharon Terlep's Detroit News article a month or so ago. (My While the goal is still a 2010 release, everything hinges on the Lithium battery thought to be the essential heart of the Volt. Or is lithium the new hydrogen?
