[QUOTE="ThinkTwice, post: 13709520, member: 32786"] I thought the primary purpose of the EV1 was to fulfill what the CARB was planning to impose (strictly in CA)? If I recall, they were trying to mandate that X amount of vehicles sold would need to be zero emission vehicles. It was GM who lobbied with CARB to ultimately drop this requirement. As soon as this was dropped, the whole EV1 program didn't need to exist anymore, especially since it was hemorrhaging money for GM. There are only a handful of EV1's that avoided getting crushed, as they were donated to universities and museums (although mostly neutered of its original functions). As far as GM protecting its technology, it wasn't too successful, as some students found that the EV1's components were mostly identical to GM's EV S10 pickup, which was readily available to the public. It didn't take much to undo what GM did in protecting the technology. [/QUOTE]
