Jon Bereisa’s career in electric drive started in the early 1970's. He has left his mark on every major electric drive development to date – from the space program to the architecture of the current Chevy Volt® propulsion system. He is best known as the Chief Engineer of the EV1 (propulsion system) and for his work on the GM Fuel Cell program, and is still advancing electric drive today. Jon spent over 30 years at General Motors developing the components, software and integrating advanced propulsion systems into automobiles that were delivered to the market. The EV1 was Jon's individual crowning achievement. He is a founding member of United States Advanced Battery Consortium, and is known to his peers as as one of the industry's giants.
