Re: GM, that's right Quicken, with the Japanese having shown the way, they're doing it too, but of course the battery has less importance in this context, since it's mainly a short term energy transfer component, making it's design easier. It could even be replaced by a super capacitor with advantage, and I'm surprised the Japanese haven't explored this yet.
I hope you're right about 2007 and battery advance, but I'll do the judging in 2008, if you get my drift.
