A123 Files for Bankruptcy
Edit: Nevermind. I just read that SB LiMotive (Samsung/Bosch) is building the battery packs for the i3.
A123 Systems has (had?) a contract with BMW for lithium-ion batteries. Not sure where they are using them. News reports say that A123 will be selling their battery plants to Johnson Controls. http://www.wired.com/business/2012/10/a123-bankruptcy/ Quote:
