I have to agree with that (killing ovonics). A lot could have happened
10 years sooner, such as producing electric local delivery vans. If done
well, I bet they would have been popular considering the reduced
operating and maintenance costs. Hybrid buses may have entered the
market a lot sooner, too. Maybe even EV buses.

Yeah GM killed the EV1, but I think the Volt and the Bolt make up for that.
GM's most egregious sin was NOT abandoning the EV1. It was denying the use of
the very serviceable NiMH chemistry in EVs for about ten years. The development
of EVs was set back about 10 years.
Knowing and understanding that history, I will never be a GM customer. Nissan's
dishonorable conduct on warranties pales.
I have come to believe that Bruce is correct. There are forces at work to
obscure and revise history. Bruce's goal, as I understand, is to make sure
historic facts are preserved. I see much effort to recharacterize the facts of
the history of NiMH in EV use.
