Bo,
As you suspected the Fisker Karma (hard to say with a Boston accent) has a larger battery pack.
Volt 16 KWH
Fisker 22.6 KWH
At least according to the link above.
ThanksJohn C. Briggs

Enjoyed the New York Auto Show video. Nice work showing the vacant floor for all those Hummers! - the cricket noise backtrack - Too funny! Why did they even bother wasting time and money showcasing these things?!?!
In regards to the GM Segway Car; apparently GM's new EV guru was right on the case with this one. Here is some video footage of the new guru field testing the original Segway to get familiar with the system. With this valuable experience, he ascertained that the GM Segway Car would be a grand success on a mass market scale. Looks like a guy who knows his stuff to me.........

I was listening to the podcast and the part where you discussed with the guest about electric car being power via coal. You gave some interesting numbers about the lbs of carbon per Kilowatt. I wonder two things. First, how many kilowatts are being produced at the power plant that result in a kilowatt from your socket. Since we know the resistance over the power lines reduces it power. Taking that into consideration would we be more in line with gasoline CO2 or greater or still better yet. And yes depending on how far you live from the plant would determine how much power is lost via transmission.
I'm not a scientist so if anyone could explain this one I would be interested in hearing.
