IIUC after a strange leasing setup trial GM recalled all EV1 electric cars and destroyed them, leasees weren't able to renew their leases or buy the cars. WI these cars had not been destroyed, perhaps some 3rd company could take over the leasing and running of the 1100 EV1s built so GM could wash their hands of it?
Would prolonged running prove that the idea is a dud, especially with the old battery technology? Or would they prove to be great and generate a lot of good publicity for electric cars and become sought after collectors items?
