Cashing In on the Electric Transport Boom

I tried to purchase (well, lease, since GM wouldn't sell any) an EV1 years ago and had 3 visits to the dealership fail to even get the door of the car unlocked since apparently only one salesman at the dealership was authorized to allow test drives and no one appeared to know when he worked. After the first year of the EV1, the dealership didn't even bother keeping a "tester" – they simply called the next person on their waiting list whenever a car became available. GM could have "sold" many many more EV1s than they did. It was a very peppy and efficient vehicle.
