You can not be serious. I suppose BigOil also coerced them to create the car to begin with. Coerced them to mass produce it. Coerced them to market it. Coerced them to lose millions on it. Then coerced them to end the project that was losing millions. Why yes, of course. It all makes sense now....
GM scrapped the electric car because they lost nearly $100K on each one they built. Anyone who does not limited their information intake to the tin foil covered Montana shacks, knows this.
It was well documented. The car cost roughly $120K, when you include the cost of the chargers, the home installation fees, the cost of free service on the cars, because they were all leased. Why were they leased? Cause no one is going to buy a $100K car that only goes 80 miles, and needs 4 hours to recharge, has nearly no truck space, only seats two, and looks like a plastic wind up toy... especially when they can buy a $16K car that can hold more, seat more, drive farther, and refuel in 5 minutes at nearly any city street corner.
The cars were horrible. They were not money makers. If GM could sell a car that ran on sand and marshmallows, they'd do it. The problem is, the EV1 was horribly expensive, and not enough people wanted them. It was not a money maker.
Once again... absolutely zero connection with reality.
