@ThePaulgregg You could be correct. Watch "WHO KILLED THE ELECTRIC CAR" if you haven't already, government motors would only lease them but wouldn't allow anyone to buy them and they didn't seem to want too many people across the U.S.to know about it. To put it simply money "may" have changed hands and then all but the one ev1 had been disassembled, crushed and ground up in to scrap.

Did the ev1 burn like the government motors (gm) volt does ?

Quick! Get it and crush it before anyone can find out it exists!!
Waaaaait... maybe someone didn't calculate "the internet factor"!

16 years later and GM is begging for a bailout. how sad.

@wtl1964 GM only ever leased the EV1 and recalled them for controversial reasons. Those are argued to be due to its success that the oil companies ended up suffering and mechanically it was very easy to fix. But GM took almost all the EV1's and crushed them only leaving a few to museums but took the power tail out of them and said they couldn't be driven on public roads at all.

'CRUSH THAT THING....THE DEVIL DRIVES AN EV-1' ;)
I read it was illegal to drive an EV-1. You can have it but u can't drive it. Am I wrong?

@ThePaulgregg
I believe that the actual contract that was signed by auto museums and university engineering departments was that is could not be made to run as original, and it could not run on public roads.
This car was restored to working parts that were unlike the original, and was only driven on private property.

Apparently, Ford has been a long-time sponsor and supporter of the Engineering Department at the school. GM has had nothing to do with it.
