It was a good car but a little too small and anemic and spartan for my, uh, maturing tastes. Then GM announced the Volt pricing including the lease (in late July 2010) and I immediately jumped on that bandwagon and haven’t looked back.

These Solectrias were typically outfitted with lead acid or nickel cadmium batteries. This article implies that Solectria outfitted them with lithium ion packs out of the factory, but I don’t think that’s correct.

Having a new lithium ion pack on this one is a big plus!
