Save the EV1

GE: Bringing the Electric Car to Life

Also, to solve the whole no long distant trip thing, like before, and I am sure they are still planning on this, it is quite possible to put in charging stations, just like gas stations. And maybe the reason the cost is so high for these cars is to make these charging stations. Plus, if gas costs are 3.75 and rising, it will cost much, MUCH, more than changing the battery every 3 years! (as stated its .40 cents to fill this car up completely).

So your worried about 3k every three years (which isn't actually a fact)?? Global Warming is progressing and the EV1's will prolong the fact, which is amazing. If Al Gore was president when these cars were first made instead of Bush, Global Warming may have already taken a definate decrease. Suck it up because this car is amazing. It will save our environment, which is much needed.
