Make sure you post the parts where General Motors was strongarmed by Delphi and Delco to allow them to make custom one-off motors, controllers and even batteries rather than using proven off-the-shelf parts from other manufacturers, and where the entire cost of designing the EV1 (including the custom motor/controller/battery, and even the cost of building the state-of-the-art assembly line) was about $1 billion. Incidentally, this was the approximate cost of the Ford Explorer's facelift in 2002.
