UNSEEN GENERAL MOTORS EV1 ARTIFACTS | UNBOXING THE ARCHIVES

Discover the one of the first mass produced electric cars, the #GeneralMotors EV1. On this episode of Unboxing the Archives, join Laura as she takes us through the history of #alternativefuels. From steam to electric, explore everything from the #StanleySteam car to the EV1 that traveled across the country. The General Motors EV1 was the first modern, mass-produced electric vehicle (EV) built by a major manufacturer. A development of GM’s 1990 Impact concept car, the EV1 was aerodynamic, lightweight, and easy to operate. It also had a range acceptable for long-distance commuting. Consumers could only lease, not buy, the cars from select dealers in California, Arizona, and Georgia. After four years of costly production, the EV1 was discontinued and all but 40 cars were dismantled.
