The University of Wisconsin owns this one. GM donated a few (less the original drivetrain) to Universities and museums. The UW often uses it as a test bed for all sorts of other EV drivetrains, so sometimes it's operational; sometimes it's not.

They are not allowed to drive it on public roads but in order to get it on/off the trailer they sometimes need to drive it in the parking lot. I've ridden/driven it at different times.

We have checked the VIN on this particular EV1 and confirmed it was originally a demo unit.
