'''The General Motors EV1 was perhaps the best of a number of modern [[Production BEV]]s.'''

{{TOCright}}
Even the most popular car model would not do well if: [[EVDL_Maillist:2006./6./1078|EVDL]] [http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/ev-list-archive/message/67987 Y!]
# It was available only at two locations in the entire world.
# It was not for sale, you could only lease it.
# An income over $100,000 was required to qualify for a lease.
# To qualify for a lease, you had to pass a written test.
# After qualifying, you may or may not be granted a car lease.
# You had to live within 50 miles of one of the two dealerships.
# You had to wait a year to get one.

GM has discontinued it's electric vehicle program, and is in the process of gathering up most of the 1160 EV1's that were produced.  Only about 100 EV1 are left in operation for further research by GM.  About 50 were stripped of their parts and the shells donated to museums or colleges.  The remaining 1100 were taken to the GM proving ground in Mesa AZ and crushed, or "Recycled"[http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/Prius-2G/message/45423].  Many expressed interest in the EV1, despite a total lack of marketing. The few that were able to get into an EV1, did so through a lease since GM refused to sell the car to anyone. If you have an interest in EV's and would like to express that interest please take a look at this [http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/541959067 Petition]. Over <strike>1300</strike> 1948 people have signed it, expressing their interest to purchase an EV1.

==News==
Sounds like GM might bring back an EV1 Gen3 style vehicle, here's hoping...

:: Hope it makes it into production and has 50 to 100 miles of EV range, which would be easy with modern [[SEVA:Li|Lithium]].

====GM Response====

* Maybe if GM repeats these same lines enough times they will become true? But will they help GM survive?
* ''[[:Image:Ev1 corporate ad-july 2006.pdf|For an electric car, the EV1 is certainly making a lot of noise.]]'' - Internal GM Ad-July 2006
** [http://www.gm.com/company/onlygm/fastlane_Blog.html#EV1 Who Ignored the Facts About the Electric Car?] - By Dave Barthmuss GM Communications - '''"Know the ''Facts''"''' ''according to GM that is...''
*** "GM invested more than $1 billion in the EV1 program, which included money for installing a charging infrastructure and for marketing the product."
**** ''Well Whoop Di Do for You, somehow this doesn't seem to justify but rather further exacerbates trying to find reason in why all the EV1's were taken out of happy customers hands and crushed?  "Because we spent billions and invested in charging infrastructure" doesn't explain away or justify a single thing?  And why the infrastructure, why not put the charger on-board and use "normal" outlets?'' --
*** "Even with extensive publicity, award-winning advertising and customer incentives the Electric Vehicle program was not a commercially viable business."
**** ''What the Bleep? You call down right existential/spooky albeit award-winning adds in 2 or 3 select cities when potential buyers had to "qualify" giving it a fair shot? Pssst, Where's that Gen3 Hybrid-EV1 guys, or would that have made it a practical vehicle for 100% of people instead of only 90%?'' --
*** "GM leveraged advanced technology to create the Saturn Vue Green Line Hybrid. It will hit showrooms later this summer, incorporating a new, more affordable gas-electric technology."
**** ''Gee that's great, your only 6 or 7 years behind the game.  Where is your Hybrid/Electric Corvette? That's what the EV1 was supposed to be for me.  I don't need a stinkin' truck, no offense to those who do, maybe try a [[Chevrolet S10 EV]](some survive), [[Ford Ranger EV]](some escaped), [[Toyota RAV4 EV]](now selling for ~60K 6 years old).  Toss a nice quiet and clean Honda gen-set in the back and Walla, a Hybrid!  Curious, why can't we [[PHEV|Plug-In]] today's batch of Hybrids, isn't it?  Too bad GM sold off their [[Ni]]MH interests, that wasn't to smart.'' --[[User:Rjf|Rjf]] 16:25, 19 July 2006 (CDT) ''Damn, all this spin can sorta make one a little dizzy.''
