According to an automobile publication called Motoring, Volvo had the equivalent of a high-speed milk float powered by giant versions of cellphone batteries as part of its display at the Michelin Challenge Bibendum in Shanghai, China.
"Volvo chose pure battery power as the means of locomotion. The batteries are lithium-ion cells (yes, the same as in your laptop computer, but mega-bigger) with a potential range of 300km, a governed top speed of 135km/h and a 0-100km/h launch time of bout 10 seconds."

More pointy / wedged at the front, pop up head lights at it could go as the new 480 (I enjoyed my trouble-free year with the 480 Turbo)

I cant see the pic, but it could be a great solution in the future. The fossil energy carriers will be over in latest the 150 years, its never too early make thoughts of next technologies.

Volvo is owned by Ford. The only Volvos on their own now is Volvo Lastvagnar (lorries/trucks), but they are very independent and the second largest producer of lorries in the world.
"Hejsan svejsan" is a very friendly and informal way of saying "hello how are you!"

Does this mean then in the future we're going to have to give our car 3 full charge/discharge cycles before it will get it's optimum speed/range?
