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.

The EV1 was a great vehicle. Too bad GM was tottally canibalistic about its own vehicle and took every single one back and crushed or disabled them. So now they are selling the VOLT and it doesnt even have HALF THE RANGE as this wonderfull EV1. All I know is that GM made a huge mistake .... IM so pissed...
Electrics were expensive at the time, sure, but given time and research, GM could be at the forefront of electric power vehicles instead of being, well, bankrupt! There wasn't a single ounce of foresight when they decided to dump the EV's, they just ran some numbers and said "EV's are too expensive". A board of idiots, the whole lot of them.
im 16, in autoshop in my high school, we were talking about this. So im thinking of going to a junk yard "buy" couple of crushed ev1's and make 1. Also GM fucked them selfs over. Im not a fan of electric cars... but still it would be cool to make old car comeback to life. you can always tweak it and make it look nicer and make it more efficient.
Poor selling hummers and corvette? Where do you live and how much time do you spend at race events? lol I've been involved in summit racing events for 3 years, and the number 1 most used car in the series was the 07 and 08 vette..and what do you think theyre all towing them with? HUMMERS, sure theyre not honda civics that you see on every corner, but by no means are hummers a rarity on the road. OR vettes for that matter.
