EV1 rises from the dead: how long will GM let it live?

GM's Order to "Cease and Desist" is keeping it off the streets.

Those who got donations of the EV1 are only supposed to put it on display, or do stupid stuff like mount a jet engine in the trunk, leaving a diesel STINK.

GM "contacted" WWU, which had restored the EV, and "reminded" them that it MUST NOT be driven on streets as a BEV.

So that's how long it took for evil GM and its oilie goons to hunt down and kill the revived EV1.

Shots of EV1, display, convenience charger, former EV1 drivers, whether GM can be forgiven...no.

Who killed the Electric car: GM and Chevron.

I think you been in the Reactor Room too darn long. Weren't wearing your lead or even tinfoil hat.

I'd have like to have a drive in one of these out of curiosity, but I'm going against the grain here and saying I think its an ugly little thing and would have been at the bottom of my shopping list.

I'd rather have a European diesel, or a Honda Hydrogen car.

Ironically, the Honda FCX was made from returned HondaEV, at first. The appearance of a car is only a sales feature; there were other variants of the EV1 that looked different. However, many people, like those who wanted to buy, thought the EV1 looked cute and loveable.

Screw GM! I won't forget what they did to the EV1. F*** them, I'll give my money to other automakers just because of this.

I still dont buy how GM says 'there no demand' total lies by Rick Wagoner. Im glad Obama gave him the boot as CEO of GM.

[heartlessvietboy]

We need to ask ourselves who exactly is running Corporations in America. The environment is dying. Guns and Nuclear weapons are being spread worldwide. GM needs to approach business from a real, simple approach. Small business. If they aren't making money, why does the Government want them to succeed. Is it because of jobs? Is it because of the "American" economy? Who is manufacturing guns?

Telogis is the best answer for EV1

[Misiekgren]

can you revive another one for me please i'd love one :D

[DanFrederiksen]

just drive the cars and be there with cameras if GM wants to make a case out of it. pushing and shaming the bastards is the only thing that works.

I'm betting GM doesn't want publicity a second time on this so just do it already

[unifish95]

@coalandnuclear you are so stupid, Mind of a dumbass. can't understand how much volts the ev1 could run...

[mariohead101]

@GuitarLover1OO1 I KNOW SO BRING SATURN BACK MAKE IT A BIT BETTER CALL IT THE EV2

[howluckyhrcosmo]

I'll never buy a GM, Opel, VauxHall, etc car again for what they did with the EVs.

[beachbummm69]

Gov Motors screwed the americans from day one...they could build this today for a lot less money

[charger19691]

GM could easily be selling these cars today with total satisfied customers driving and loving them. I wanted one just for driving to work and short trips. But no, GM and Chevron had to be fuckwads about the whole program. That damn Chevy Volt still has a gas engine, so I'm sure that will keep chevron oil very happy. GM didnt deserve a bailout either in my opinion. Bastards.

@coalandnuclear All i have to say is FUCK YOU FAGGET you shouldnt have the right to vote PERIOD.
