And most, if not all, aren't happy about it. In many respects, the EV-1 was a vehicle on the bleeding edge of technology in it's time, aluminum alloy space frame, composite body panels, regenerative braking, and batteries being what they were. During a left coast trip way back then, I test drove an EV-1 and was quite pleased. The EV-1 was never offered for lease in Texas, but I was on a Texas waiting list for one for over two years until I was notified (through their Saturn leasing dept) the EV-1 program was being discontinued. EV-1 muy muerto. Adios EV-1. To be truthful, GM was not leasing the EV-1 profitably back then, yet considering GM's current economic woes, one has to wonder if they still think they made the right decision. One also has to wonder had the EV-1 turned out differently, where would GM, and us, be today? Personally, I think GM and I missed a good opportunity. -- jer email reply - I am not a 'ten'
