Last time they did this was during the Carter Administration. After a month of prototype torture-testing, the Grumman KurbWatt was appointed winner, but the contract was modified from electric to the slightly bigger and ICE'd LLV after delivery of the first 50 fleet validation vehicles (which followed 12 prototypes) I have one of the fleet validators, Chassis #000054. It's an awesome little 3/4 ton step van and gets more car show attention than any other EV.
