What a absalute Peices of shit..
4-5 TIMES more expensive to fuel, sure nice on the enviroment...
Unable to maintain the vehicle let alone drive it durring COLD periods of the seasons... if it drops below 0*C (30*F), you royally SCREWED.....
Vehicle itself is horridly more expensive....
GM you bastards, bring back what was working, and extremely easy to maintain you jackasses. EV-1 ftw!

it's just too soon to judge it, the things are still under testing and evaluation, and new technology has always been expensive at first.

Electric cars, specially the EV-1 wasn't ALL that expensive, hell of alot cheaper actually.... typical consumers could even afford it.. and it was pretty much maintence free... and 100% emissions free, AND you didn't have to pay a crapload to charge it....
The simple fact that you must keep the vehicle at all times in a heated enviroment so nothing freezes is a guarantee that it'll be impossible to use it anywhere from in places that never drop below freezing...

Do not want hydrogen car. That's just trading one fuel for another. I prefer electric cars.....just plug it in.
I don't think GM killed the electric car, I think someone else did. They WANT you to have to keep pouring money into the car in the form of some kind of fuel. Plugging it in to charge doesn't make anyone any money.....it would likely be a negligible cost to your electric bill to just charge a car up. Oh! Can't have that.

electric companies get very little from an electric car... in the end, it's much cheaper all the way around, because no oil, no filters, no nothing is nessary for the electic car, they have damn good durrability in most pratical uses......
GM/Big Oil/Stupid Consumers/Government killed the electric car
