Killing the EV1 was a good business decision, not a mistake. There was no way to make money on that car. There’s no way to make money on the Volt either, but with the Gov’t forking over endless taxpayer dollars, GM no longer cares. The Feds own ‘em, and GM will do what the Feds want.

There’s a reason why the only highway-legal electric car available today costs over $100,000 - batteries. They were the downfall of the EV1. The technology just wasn’t there then and still isn’t, at least not at an affordable, non-subsidized price.
