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.

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
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.
