Yeah you could be driving around without worrying about paying for $4.06 a gallon. the GM EV1, that never needed a drop of gasoline, was leased and detroyed because the low demand for spare parts, and GM wouldnt make as much money. then they decided to build the Hummer H2, aint that a bit**. with 1999 technology

In late 2003, GM officially canceled the EV1 program.[12][13] Despite unfulfilled waiting lists and positive feedback from the lessees, GM stated that it could not sell enough of the cars to make the EV1 profitable. In fact, during the later stages of development for the car, GM officials claimed that they stood no chance of ever making a profit on the EV1 itself.[citation needed] So instead of keeping the cars and allowing the currently built cars to be sold the company elected to shred all of these cars after numerous promises to reuse the cars.[14]

  2. I'm so pissed, I watched "who killed the electric car" in my economics class in my senior year of high school...I was very surprised and angry. I wish gas was $4.06, where I live it's lowest at $4.35 and goes up to 4:50 for regular. BTW: I live in Westchester County in New York...I believe it's the highest in the U.S.

  3. who killed the electric car is an amazing doco, a really good watch for anybody
