Please allow me to start with some Volt history:
GM unveiled the Volt concept at the January 2007 Detroit Auto Show. In June of 2008, the “old GM’s” Board of Directors approved the Volt project for production well before the bankruptcy and infusion of government funds.

The battery story goes back much farther to the early 1990s with GM’s extensive work on the EV1.
