Don’t you think that GM shareholders would be even more upset at the current share price??

If GM had already blown its money makiing the EV1, why did it spend even more money to kill it??

Why is GM STILL refusing to allow volunteers to rebuild the EV1 from dismantled parts??

The Toyota RAV4-EV is all-electric, no gas, no oil, no tune-ups, and is still running fine, 6 years later.

GM is still suppressing its EV1, refusing to let WWU run a reconstructed EV1 on the streets, still killing the Electric car.

GM was afraid to sell the EV1, because it wanted to sell more SUV and Hummers.

Now, GM is paying the price of its own failures. But that price is just beginning to be visible, as GM continues to be run by the same failed Board that ran it into the mess it’s in now.

GM was FORCED to make the EV1; it did its best to sabotage it, releasing it in 1996 with defective batteries. It was GM which bought control of the only successful EV batteries — NiMH — and sold that control, on Oct. 10, 2000, to Texaco, which 6 days later announced its merger into Standard Oil of California (Chevron). Thus, GM and SO worked together to suppress the EV batteries, when Chevron sued Toyota, extracting $30 million after which Toyota stopped making the batteries — and the RAV4-E V can’t get replacement batteries, thanks to GM-Chevron collusion.

The EV1 was a great car; GM hunted down and stopped it from existing, while Toyota SOLD the last 300 Toyota RAV4-EV to the public.

That’s why GM is much more guilty than anyone else but Chevron of killing the electric car.

Why should we believe that GM is serious about the EV this time? It’s just a shuck, GM is waiting for gas prices to come down and SUV to start selling again.

GM admits the VOLT won’t be sold in more than tiny quantities through 2014, at least; and told the NHTSB not to count it into GM’s supposedly desperate attempts to meet MPG standards.

Because GM doesn’t expect to sell many, if any, of them, that’s why.

It’s a long time to 2011, 0r 2012, when GM will be able to kill the program.

Sure, they could produce the VOLT, or any 40-mile-range EV right now, using lead or NiMH batteries; using expensive, short-lived, dangerous Lithium is just GM’s way of postponing things for years, when they will be found out as the complete shame that they are.
