On top of the $8 billion they are already asking the US government for, GM is adding in a $2.6 billion loan request to develop the Volt and two spin-offs (Reuters).
GM is applying for the loan through the DOE loan program to develop fuel efficient vehicles. GM has already shown off a concept Cadillac Converj, which uses the Volt E-REV technology (Extended Range Electric Vehicle).
