"The GM EV1 Story"
The "Big Car" YouTube channel has a short documentary on the EV1 that is quite good. They guy has a good formula for making these.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.

You can just make out the aluminum slipper boat tail.

The charging paddle needed to die.
It had most of the complexity of a chademo, all of the cost of chademo and then some, the inefficiencies of wireless and the speed of a standard level 2.

The charging paddle looked so odd. On a sidenote, sometimes I wonder how the setup of a Chevrolet Bolt would fare into something more similar to the EV1.
