The sad fact is that no one actually "owned" an EV1 (with very rare
exceptions.) No doubt, many would still be on the road today if GM had
allowed private ownership.
I had the privilege of driving one when they were first introduced at
the EVS-14, and it was a very nice car.
I was told a bit of the backstory of Who Killed the Electric Car by
Chris Paine. Much of the movie ended up on the cutting room floor
because they could not find multiple sources for the information. Sony
Pictures, which distributed the film, required that everything presented
in the film be backed up by multiple sources, (like a controversial news
story) and double fact-checked. They were very concerned about the
potential liability.
It would love to see a "director's cut" of the movie released today.

Hello Everyone,
I just finished watching the documentary "Who Killed The Electric Car" was
wondering if anyone on EVDL has owned a General Motors EV1 and would be
willing to share his or her experiences with it.
Thanks,
Nathan
