The explosion occurred during "extreme testing" on a prototype battery and is unrelated to the Chevrolet Volt or any other production vehicle according to GM.

Would Government Motors lie about the Chevy Volt? /sarc

Seriously, whether this is related to the Volt or not I'd bet there's a bunch of GM and Chevy execs beating their heads against a wall over this incident. If GM had been completely honest about the Volt over the last couple years it might be no big thing but they haven't.

If they had been completely honest about the 350 diesel, we might have a large portion of the fleet running diesel today.
