  • what were some draw back to the Ev1

  • @ericlol99 The bigest drawback from my POV was that they were never for sale and you could not own one. Aside from that they were perfectly capable and fun vehicles.

  • What year was this???

  • There were two model years of this car I believe, the Gen1 in 1997 and the Gen2 in 2000.  I drove one and shot this video in 2002.

  • excelente video!!!!

    how many milles you were able to ride before the batery go off??

  • As I recall I believe that I got somewhere in the neighborhood of 90 to 100 miles of range out of this PbA (Lead Acid) EV1. We did mostly surface street driving that day.

  • GM could have been an innovator but now they are losers because of what they did..crushing those cars..nobody wants SUVS anymore,at least I don't

  • I sent GM an e mail about 6 months ago. I said I would never buy another GM again,and Ive had GM's for 20 years. Because, they scrapped the EV1 program. The sales they dont have now they would have had if they had continued production of the EV1.

  • Nissan Leaf is picking up were GM left off. Go Nissan, Go Nissan, GO....

  • Honda does have have ev's they just use gas because government doesn't want to lose tax money. Like All electric cars they are only test models when there are califronia only. Look at the Honda's fuel cell vehicals the same BS and make the driver pay outragus Fee to be Test Pigs.

  • honda did jump on the me too train. their electric was a turd compared to the e v 1. g m was ahead of the game but allowed greed to do them in.they whored themselves for big oil. now they are 2 dollar crack whores.

  • wouldnt that suck ?

  • Actually it's simply governed at 70mph.  An un-governed EV1 set a Land Speed Record of 186 mph at GM proving ground.

  • LOL, GM pulled the trigger themselves. "thats not how you hold a gun", ah whatever.

  • Yup, but look how much bailout money uncle georgie gave them!
