Nah, we were all bought-off. Just after GM came out with the EV-1 their tax lawyers started to show people how they could get the government to pay for the Hummers they were also making.

Also there was the small fact you couldn't actual buy an EV-1 and could only get a short lease for one after giving GM more personal info than you'd give your doctor.

GM didn't want us to have the EV-1: They weren't ahead of their time, they were behind the times.
