That people didn't want these cars does not makes no sense. The people that were leasing the EV1s offered to buy the cars and GM refused to let them buy them. There were definitely people that wanted these cars!!
GM officials have rightly stated that it was a big mistake to drop the EV1 - they could have been ahead of the curve and instead they decided that they wanted to be behind the curve.
Even if the car wasn't perfect, they should have worked on perfecting the technology rather than ignoring it for years until Asian companies created hybrids.
