Resurrected EV1 discussion at SEVA Meeting p1

Part 1of2

Of the original 1115 GM EV1s only 40 or so still exist. These were severely disabled by GM and given to universities and museums. A few more may still exist as part of GM's fool cell research projects. In Early December of 2007 one of them was resurrected, making its first public appearance Dec 8th at Renewable L.A., and then a few days later at the Seattle chapter of the Electric Auto Association's monthly meeting on December 11th.

The 1997 PbA (Lead Acid) EV1 was reanimated by university faculty, students, EV Bones, and Pv's donated Tech2 scanner! Mike, a retired instructor made sure to mention that the car was a part of their ongoing Hybrid project as GM stipulated that the EV1 must not be used as an EV as part of their agreement when donating it to the school.

An EV1 came to our monthly 2007 Dec meeting seattleevaDOTorg/wiki/GM_EV1#L­ive_EV1

WOW ! ! ! !

It's just like an UNDERGROUND REBEL REVOLUTIONARY GROUP meeting ! ! !

( Well.... it IS a Rebel Revolutionary Group meeting ! )

This is getting absurd ! ! !

Next we'll see the oil indusrty and automakers

INFILTRATE such groups, and then they can throw lawsuits, publicise slander, arrange bribes and buy-outs, or why not just plain shoot them die-hard environmentalists & enthusiasts dead ?

"You WILL buy our oil !

You WILL pay for our ancient technology !

Life or Money !"

"GM stipulated that the EV1 must not be used as an EV as part of their agreement"

Crazy. "Here's an electric car. Don't use it without an engine"

Thanks for posting this DOliO. It's very nice to be able to watch a recap of a very crowded SEVA meeting. It's interesting to hear the challenges the students had to overcome to get this far with bringing their EV1 back to life and then converting it to a hybrid.
