Is there a battery that will let it go more than 35 miles?

I always thought the EV-1 was a nice-looking car betrayed by its 1880s battery. I am not yet convinced that a better battery exists.

And somebody has to do something about giving it a decent heater.

Problem is that for GM to make a working profit - given regulations, taxation, litigation, and legacy costs - the car will have to sell for at least $30,000.
