Resurrected EV1 discussion at SEVA Meeting p2

Part 2of2

Of the original 1115 GM EV1s only 40 or so still exist. These were severely disabled by GM and given to universities and museums. A few more may still exist as part of GM's fool cell research projects. In Early December of 2007 one of them was resurrected, making its first public appearance Dec 8th at Renewable L.A., and then a few days later at the Seattle chapter of the Electric Auto Association's monthly meeting on December 11th.

The 1997 PbA (Lead Acid) EV1 was reanimated by university faculty, students, EV Bones, and Pv's donated Tech2 scanner! Mike, a retired instructor made sure to mention that the car was a part of their ongoing Hybrid project as GM stipulated that the EV1 must not be used as an EV as part of their agreement when donating it to the school.

History shows that every mega manufacture we have today started small. (Microsoft, Apple, GE, Ford, ) need I say more?

[GSpotter63]

"Incremental steps to an all electric vehicle" BS it is just Big Oil and Big Auto with their hands on the strings of government trying to control the system so they can keep their monopoly and not lose it to small start-ups like Tesla motors that can and want to jump right to all electric now.

[GSpotter63]

Why the incremental steps to the all electric vehicle? Why not all EV's now? (I.E. all gas, to hybrids, to 50% plug-ins, to 90% plug-ins then finely all electric). The current internal combustion engine (IEC) manufacturing plants are not equipped to build electric motors. If the demand for elec motors outstripped the need for ICE then the ICE makers would lose out to the plants built for making elect motors ( they would lose their monopoly).

[GSpotter63]

The oil/auto makers (and the rest of the parts replacement and repair industry) will need time to retool there facilities. This step by step INDOCTRINATION helps guarantee there continued mastery of the industry and where you're hard earned money goes.
