Its very unfortunate that GM was unwilling to make the EV-1 body style into a steel body gasser or hybred drive, its basic shape could easily be transposed into a 3 or 4 seater just by extending the car a tad and aero would remain the same.
Imagine a metro platform with an EV-1 body, sadly KISS wore off on GM with the blasted volt mess.
I have a feeling GM underestimated the EV-1s body style appeal, I still think it is neater looking than a prius and have a feeling many others would have agreed given the opportunity.
Also remember folks, both Dodge & Ford has EV-1 like hybrids designed for the US governments paid requirement as well, both of those body styles would be worth locating for comparison.
Don't forget they both got over 75mpg with the EV-1 around 90mpg as hybrid.
Too bad big auto wouldn't produce them.
