3 VOLT Lithium-Ion Battery 288 Cells 70% of the Cost Module Pack

4 VOLT Lithium-Ion Battery

5 The Battery Challenge Lithium-Ion Battery Pack n 16 kWh (8kWh usable) n High energy/High Power n Efficiently packaged > 6 ft. in length > 375 lbs n Reasonable cost n 10 yr life/150,000 miles Lithium-Ion Battery Pack n 16 kWh (8kWh usable) n High energy/High Power n Efficiently packaged > 6 ft. in length > 375 lbs n Reasonable cost n 10 yr life/150,000 miles

6 Early Vehicle Testing and Learning

7 Next Phase of Testing and Learning

8 Next Phase of Testing and Learning Mule Vehicles now in Test

9 Charging and Infrastructure

10 Charging Power Level 3.3 kW/240V charging will usually require a one time investment to upgrade the garage with a dedicated 240V circuit Full charge is <3 hours – very acceptable Fast charging will have customer value 1.2 kW/120V charging may work depending on the customer’s situation Full charge in minimum 8 hours (temperature dependent) May require understanding and control of other devices on the circuit Charger and control logic is on-board the vehicle Designed for global voltages 120V charge cord comes with the vehicle in NA

11 GM/EPRI/Utility Collaboration for Electrical Infrastructure The Collaboration includes more than 40 Utilities in North America… many the industry’s thought-leaders in electric transportation and grid interaction GM / EPRI / Utility Collaboration

12 Why collaboration is important?

14 Impact on the Electric Grid Electricity: An important energy source with significant capacity to support transportation 10 million E-REVs in 2010 would add a load that is less than 1% of the total grid load

15 Electric Grid Design for Peak Demand The last 5% of the system’s capacity is needed less than 1% of the time The last 25% of the system’s capacity is only needed about 10% of the time The real objective of smart charging is simply to avoid these peaks with most of the vehicles out there This has tremendous value for the utilities – and very achievable once the technology is in place to manage vehicle charging For example, in California like most hot-weather states with a lot of air conditioning:

16 Electric Grid Design for Peak Demand Volt leverages off-peak for charging

17 820 MILLION VEHICLES <1% are Electrified Vehicles (Hybrid, Battery Electric or Fuel Cell)

18 Will Take >20 Years to Replace Them with More Energy Efficient Vehicles
