  • I am not against electric cars actually, I have seen a future LMP concept that was all electric and I thought the Citroen GT is a really cool car but was diappointed the concept had a a gas engine in it though...

    Sorry to cause a ruckus...

  • @ MrMotorsportsFanatic: Apologies for my overreaction. I've been in a sour mood. I've removed my previous caustic comments.

  • Will I ever drive an EV1 before I die?

  • Alas, that's unlikely. All but a few have been destroyed. I feel privileged to have driven EV1s on two occasions - both birthday present rentals from my wife.

  • This car had absolutely no soul, sounds terrible, very whiney. Hear a Ferrari or an Aston Martin sometime, that is soul and passion.

    The reason this car died was ultimately (yes some people liked it) that there wasn't a huge market for it. But come on, it can't suit eveyone.

    The car would've cost GM to make $75K-$100K, and they based the lease payments of a price of $34K, and that was over 10 years ago.

    Plus, $33K is expensive, people desire reliability and practicality.

  • LOL the traction controll light was on untill you hit 42.. Awesome!

  • theres more money to be made on big SUVs and Hummers

    ev-1 was the most advanced electric car and now look where GM is and who is the #1 car maker TOYOTA

  • If i had an ev1, i would be doing burnout all day long, and not have a worry in the world. Electric drive has tonnes of torque through the entire rpm range, and has minimal moving parts to break

  • While the EV1 is no longer around, the video is definitely a great idea of what it would have been like to drive one.

    (In the age of $4.00 gas prices) That car would have been profitable, if GM actually gave it a chance

  • that video make me sad to see them long gone

  • Agreed a lot of H2's and H3's
