Anyone know of the EV1? I do. Know what it is? Or should I say was. An all electric car from GM(General Motors). I know this happened long ago, but I just want to know how many people know what crap GM is doing, or has done.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Who_Killed_the_Electric_Car%3F

Thats about the film they made on it.

And this is about it.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Motors_EV1

Read on.

I'm not accustomed to gallons, I'm used to litres.

1 liters = 0.264172051 US gallons

1 gallons (US Liquid) = 3.7 liters

why there is a difference between UK gallon and US gallon is beyond me.

Why America and the UK still use the Imperial system is also beyond me.


I heard the oil companies killed the guy that produced the hydrogen car, but I think that was just a rumor.

The oil companies control the world :shock: . GM was probably paid tons of money to get rid of those cars.

There he lay now, sick, miserable, filled with ill-will towards himself; full of hatred for the impulses toward life, full of suspicion of all that was still strong and happy. In short, a "Christian"... - Twighlight of the Idols

They "bribed" people so they could destroy the last few.

Speaking of electric cars, Tesla Motors is debuting a 100% electric car next year. Although very pricey, I would love to see how this will affect the whole market.

It's just that it is very costly to convert into the metrics system for ANY country. Just think about the highway markers alone...
