If you really want to know if the EV-1 was a better car than the new Volt – Watch the Documentry “Who Killed the Electric Car”
GM sold out the American Public to the Oil Companies & so did the Government.
The EV1-with the new battery did have a range of 140 miles – and GM who had control of the battery, sold it to the Oil Companies – which killed it.
So there is no reason why we can’t have a VOLT at a cheaper cost since the technology is already there.

The gen-II EV-1 had an EPA certified range of 140 miles using 1000 lb of NiMH batteries containing the same energy as the 400 lb Volt pack. It also cost 1/4 of the price quoted by A123.
