Just found this:
http://www.pressportal.com.au/news/120/ARTICLE/4144/2009-01-14.html
on the Chevy Volt.
Note the battery pack: The development of the Volt's 16 kWh T-shaped
lithium-ion battery, which is roughly 6 feet long (1.8 meters) and
weighs nearly 400 pounds (181 kg), is key to the Volt's success. The
production-intent design was revealed in September 2008.
At 3KW hour pack would presumably weigh 3/16 of 181Kg or 34 Kg.
Close enough for Government work, which GM might be shortly. BTW It
is rumoured that the US governement guarantee for GM cars will be run
by the Federal United Bureau of Auto Repair.
