A rare GM EV1 saved from the crusher is going to be driveable again
The General Motors EV1 has a vital place in electric vehicle history. It mainly served to show two things:
- Show a viable path for battery-electric vehicles back in the 1990s.
- Some forces are clearly at play to suppress electric cars.
GM only leased the EV1, never sold any, and prevented almost anyone from keeping them when it killed the vehicle program.
The automaker ended up crushing the vast majority of them. While a few empty shells exist in museums, they are strictly prohibited from ever driving again. But a new project has surfaced involving what appears to be the only legally owned EV1 in private hands, and the new owner plans to put it back on the road with a modern battery pack.
A YouTube channel called Electrek Garage (no relation to us, though we like the name) posted a fascinating video detailing the acquisition and restoration plan for this unicorn of an EV.
