1999 GM EV1

1999 General Motors GM EV1 Home Movie. I drove this car for two years. I could get 120 miles between charges when I picked it up, but was lucky to get 70 miles when I turned it in 2 years later. But it was a blast to drive for two years. And the best steering feel of any other GM car, by far. RIP.
