the EV1 may have had a larger Battery then the Volt But at the end of the day the EV1 had more features then the Volt and it was allot more wanted by the genaral public. The EV1 was also ahead of its time were the volt is very semalur to the avredg car.

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.
