Yea you got me, man is my face red!

They are not owned by Chevron, Chevron is Part-owner

I guess if I say they won't let anyone use the batteries you will say I am wrong, " I have one in my laptop right now". So I guess I should be clear. Chevron is part owner (%50) of Cobasys, and while they will sell the batteries for use in small electronics, they will not license thier use in automobiles.
