GM to launch Chevrolet Spark electric in 2013


GM announced today it is going to launch an all electric city car in the first half of 2013, which will be a low volume production run of the Chevrolet Spark EV (also known as the Beat). 
A123 Systems will supply the nanophosphate lithium-ion battery packs that will power the Spark EV. The roll-out will be as per the Volt. The Spark will be the first all-electric car from GM since the infamous EV1 in the 90's (the car they launched then withdrew and crushed).
