General Motors announced that Chevrolet Volt will use battery packs manufactured in the United States. The plant will be located in Michigan and will be the first lithium-ion battery pack manufacturing facility operated by a major US automaker. Facility preparation will begin in early 2009, with output starting in 2010.

Toyota showed off the FT-EV, a battery-powered four-seat compact car, with plans to release an "urban commuter" electric car in 2012. In addition, GM added a little luxury with its latest electric concept, the Cadillac Converj. While Smart, the popular mini-car maker, revealed its all-electric ForTwo, which will also run on lithium-ion batteries.
