EV1" redirects here. For other uses, see EV1 (disambiguation).
The EV1 was the first production quality battery electric vehicle produced by General Motors in the United States and, at the time, was the only electric vehicle in the history of the company to bear the "General Motors" badge.
GM leased over 800 EV1 cars out of about 1100 manufactured[1] with the provision that after the three-year leases were up, the cars reverted to the company. They were available in California and Arizona and could be serviced at designated Saturn dealers.
The purpose of the EV1 was, in part, to satisfy California's Zero-emissions vehicle mandate initiated in 1990. The ZEV program specified that by 1998, 2% of all new cars sold were to have no emissions. GM stated that they spent over $1 billion developing and marketing the EV1, though much of this cost was defrayed by the Clinton Administration's $1.25 Billion Partnership for a New Generation of Vehicles (PNGV)[2] project.[3][4]
In late 2003, GM cancelled the EV1 program.[5][6] 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.[7] GM also cited a lack of demand.
The price for the car used to compute lease payments was $33,995 to $43,995, which made for lease payments of $299 to over $574 per month. One industry official said that each EV1 cost the company about $80,000, including research and development costs.[8] The vehicle's lease prices also depended on available state rebates. At that time, the cost for the electricity used to power the car was computed to be 1/3 to 1/2 the cost of the equivalent amount of gasoline [9], and since that time increases in gas prices have made electricity relatively even less expensive.

car lasted 180 miles or so on one charge 90% of americans drive 180 miles or less a day
GM only leased them to people starting in 1996 and in 2003 they recalled them and gave everyone a saturn to only do this with the cars
they scraped everyone of them
becasue
no more gas
no more oil changes
no radiator
alot of industries would suffer
and they knew this befor they built it
so my question is why did they build it
