Those familiar with the history of GM, would know that GM had previously made electric cars back in the 90's with similar technology. However they took them back and crushed good condition electric cars without explanation. I can't leave all the blame to GM because Toyota and Ford also developed similar models, but those met the same fate. The name of the car was the EV1.

If GM had kept the EV1 (100 mile range fully electric car), where would electric cars be today?

@earthmagekl7 Well, that was back when gas prices were only $1.30 a gallon, and there was over $230 billion budget surplus.

@earthmagekl7 yeah it's a crying shame, they said it wouldn't work but it was a load of BS. There is a good documentary called "Who Killed the Electric Car?"
