Hi Seth, We'll all be very interested to learn what you find out about the EV1. I'm betting no one is driving it anywhere because GM rendered it undriveable before donating it. There's a good chance GM didn't donate a car, they donated "experimental apparatus". If the school gets it running, it will probably have to be registered as a prototype/special construction vehicle. To my knowledge there has *never* been an EV1 on the road that wasn't owned by GM, and GM has seemed quite adamant about keeping it that way. Please keep us posted. Chris
