For the real story, borrow "The Car That Could" from your local library. A description of the design and construction of the EV1, the issues they ran up against, and GM's reaction to the EV1 and to CARB's subsequent movements are described in detail, taken directly from interviews with the actual people involved. Very interesting story.
