I was in the Tellus Museum in Cartersville, Ga recently and they had a grey electric car put out by GM in 1996. By 2003 the display info said they were all dead.
Does anyone know the name of the car I forgot what it was called
It was the Saturn EV-1, and was created because the law in California at the time required a certain percentage of zero-emission vehicles. The laws were changed, however, and as such GM, Honda, and Toyota ran from the EV market. All EV-1s were leases from Saturn and the owners were selected, meaning one could not just lease one, they had to apply to get one.
