Comment Remember the EV1? (Score 2) 297

The EV1 seemed pretty popular with people who had them, however GM only allowed a lease option on them. One day GM told lessees that they wanted the cars back and then destroyed all of them claiming there wasn't enough demand from the people who wanted to buy them.

Here is a bit of history on GM's first electric car. Sure does sound like a familiar story.
