Hi Dfgf:

___The EV-1 was never for sale but instead leased. Every one produced and to be produced had a waiting list. The EV-1 Gen 2 w/ the NiMH’s was an excellent automobile according to those that drove it (thus all the fervor over them being destroyed) and unfortunately, just slightly ahead of its time.

___Can you imagine, the only car GM makes with a huge backlog of those wanting to purchase and they (GM) are taking them back from the leasees and smashing them into flat pancakes for permanent storage in the AZ. desert. Instead, they (GM) will spend billions in design, engineering, and especially marketing on SUV’s that they can’t sell w/ $5,000 rebates applied? It makes no sense whatsoever???

___The wheels are just about to fall off for GM and it is really to bad because at one time, they had some of the best engineering in the world

___Good Luck
