GM India has finalized its move to ship in batteries for its e-Spark from India. The earlier move was to get from China or Japan. As a result, the talks with vendors in India has been initiated and a formal agreement might be inked by this June, said the VP for corporate affairs of GM India. The sourcing will be lithium ion batteries for e-Spark, which are imported. e-Spark offer two battery options –lead acid and lithium ion.
GM is already on a technical know-how with Bangalore based Reva Electric for developing the battery car but not the battery from Reva. The company is exploring all possibilities to bring in lithium ion battery for the proposed launch of e-Spark in October, he said.
