I leased an EV-1 for 2-1/2 years. Mine was a 1999 -- with the NiMH batteries. It was a very cool car, and I was pissed when GM made it clear that they were going to take them all back. So I switched to a Toyota RAV4-EV, which I drove for a decade until I took delivery of my Model S.
Those rav-4 EV where good?
EV1 was a leased car. Like renting, you don’t get your money back
.
You should of hid the ev1 in a forest and siad it was stolen
Teslas success is pretty much all GMs failures. The ev1, the autonomy chassis, and the nummi factory.
I took my driver's test in an EV1. I miss that car. Now I drive a TM3.
@thomas anderson easy... Had a good friend with one. It had to be destroyed with all the other GM recalls. I just happened to be the right age for my driver's test when he had it.
Holy cow, you are a legend.
@@cd23 well you are a liar. They never went to market.
@@cd23 you're age sir?
Ok Tm3 ev-1 is it just a more modern updated version with quadruple the power and range
So nuts to see the EV1 in real life, I think it's GMs best design in years!
GM blew it. Think about all the data they lost by killing the EV1.
@@tony_25or6to4 They didn't loose any data. They built the Volt and Bolt from what they learned. Do agree, however, that it was a bad move on their part.
There would not be a tesla if GM had kept producing the EV1. GM would still have all their factories open.
@@tony_25or6to4 ugly
Teslanomics with Ben Sullins GM could get back some good will if they just started producing an EV1 with current battery tech.
I saw the premier of Who Killed the Electric Car with Chris Pine, who was in the movie and who spoke to a small group of us in Oregon, just after the movie. This was in 2000, I think but it was pretty cool and sad to see the short-lived EV history. This was long before Elon Musk and Tesla or anything so we were all retrofitting our own cars to EV's and starting the plug-in Prius craze. Those were fun days when solar panels were: $1,000 ea. Today, we have many EV's and solar panels at: $120 ea. Things are progressing well.
EVs are still a joke. Coughing a lot with the extra coal burning /Fossil fuels
You mean Fossil powered electric car where do you think all that power comes from?
Burning Gas
Burning Coal
Burning natural gas
Burning diesel..
oh nuclear is not very clean.
The majority of the material in spent nuclear fuel is a relatively stable form of uranium called uranium 238 (U-238). It has a half life of over four billion years, so it will be around for a long time. The next largest fraction of material is unspent uranium 235 (U-235) and plutonium fuel with half lives of 700 million years and 24 thousand years respectively. These materials are do not change substantially in character except on geological time scales. That is, they are not going away very quickly if we just wait.
basically you just out sourced your Fossil fuel to someone else
@@punker4Real The grid is changing fast, more and more renewable sources are added every mouth. Even if the power come from a coal power plant it's still more efficient than a combustion engine because large power plants are better at converting fuel into usable energy and you can have carbon capture device at power plants. A worst case scenario coal powered electric car is still better than a gasoline engine car
Similar range to a Leaf, but at a different speed ;)
Yea but it's the speed and battery that their technology could allow back then. If you factor growth in technology over time, this same vehicle could be doing over 500 miles with approximately 500 HP or more
$950 for the first e car. Equivalent to 26k today, about the same as the leaf. Weird.
Imagine putting a Tesla Battery pack and a Performance Motor on an EV1
Cheers Elon, The problem with big motors in EVs is they are far from their peak efficiency when cruising. A 250kW Tesla dips into the low 70% motor efficiency when going at a steady 70MPH. There is part of the reason why a Model 3 overall wastes 29% of the energy supplied from the socket. However the EV1 was a textbook example of no nonsense engineering, and if you put the same weight of your batteries into one, you'd have 450 miles range with a battery a third the weight of what you a currently making in your factory!
I do have a proposition for you: Offer a Model 3 RWD with only a 50kW motor and the big battery. Then you'll have a car that is usable for road trips as it would go 600 miles per charge. It would accelerate as slowly as an empty van, but who cares when you got the range and you are demanding a lot less of your batteries, so they'll last forever.
I don't think this has to wait until you are back at the board, just call the current hot chairwoman right away and explain to her that she needs to do this and only offering hot rod versions of EVs was a blunt mistake.
I live thirty miles from there and I've never heard of this, definitely going!
l remember getting to sit in a red EV1 on display at the 1999 Seattle Auto Show. As I recall it was just sitting on the floor, no ropes around it or anything and the interior was just so cool. Hard to believe that was 20 years ago...
OG modern electric vehicles! I'm so glad there's still EV1 that survived the carnage back then.
Props to you guys for taking us with you on your trips. We get to learn new things each time
There are still a handful of EV1 cars left that are in museums we have one here in Sacramento Ca, Gm completely stripped the cars of their powertrains and batteries before donating them. As the car sits it's just a shell.
You're correct, I recall there is only one fully complete EV-1 that remains and its in the Smithsonian. The others are not technically 100% complete.
Well when Jay Leno went to visit Robert DeNero DeNero hid a fully running EV-1
There is one at Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Worcester, MA, as well. Not sure how complete it is, though.
@@kevinloving3141 Someone needs to be written into his will.
you can still put a real pruis power trains and batteries and you will bet set to go and not worry about filing up the power since it will happen automatically
It was really heart touching to see the EV1... I miss that car...
This was an awesome episode!
You guys are becoming more than a commercial for Tesla, and more of ambassador's for EV's.
Keep evolving, and continue the great productions.
Cheers
So happy thers still an ev1 alive
I remember back in 1992..they were hoping to sell only electric cars by 2003.. we are still far from that lol.. but I’m seeing progress
I want to go to this place! And I didn't even know it existed
OMG.. Kim I can't believe you found a EV-1. I've gotta come to Georgia and see this. Love your new website and continued content. :)
We used to have a EV1 at our school shop in the early 90's.
Wow! That looks like a amazing museum. Great job on the video. I worked for Saturn in a dealer in Ny and are training materials always mentioned the Saturn or GM EV1. Saturn was originally going to get all of tech that went into the Volt on the Saturn Vue a year earlier but as thing would have it the brand got discontinued before that would happen.
I’ve been to Tellus a few times. Never disappoints!
Great video. Looks like a terrific museum. Thanks for sharing.
there is 2 others (other than the one in this video) that i know of. one is completely abandoned in a Atlanta parking lot and another is in a parking lot of a car museum.
The wrap on your silver model 3 is so awesome. Never seen one like that in person.
Cool tour guys! I wonder what the story is behind that rescued EV-1 and how it didn't get crushed like the rest of them!
There is an EV1 at the Peterson in California too!
Great EV minds think alike! I was just looking at some videos on the EV1 a few days ago!
Data point: $950 in 1903 is ~$26k in 2017 dollars. That's only a tiny bit less than the Leaf (and no rebates in that era).
Decision made! If I ever make it to Atlanta, YOU must take me on a tour of that museum. I wonder if their EV1 has been disabled, like the few others donated to museums and universities. As far as I know, the only one that is actually intact is in the Smithsonian, with original lead-acid batteries. My guess is that, when GM sold the NiMH patent to Chevron, the latter mandated that they had to destroy any with such batteries. Wish I could see that contract! Grrrr.
how could they. They just didn't allow the sale of large NiMh batteries. But that's history for a long time already… hing is, Li-Ion turned up shortly thereafter and made NiMh a bit irrelevant anyway. Nikki from Transport Evolved has been driving a RAV4 with NiMh batteries until relatively recently.
It's disabled. The ride height shows. I'm in contact with some people with the contract. I really want to find loopholes to try and get an EV1 ;)
@@Jaggrawr So it's about NiMh in the EV1s? OK, they could do that. But I guess it would be relatively easy to convert them to Li-Ion…
Hey I remember taking a field trip here in 8th grade
Thank you for the video - I really enjoyed the history and presentation of the electric cars.
Very cool Kim. It's great to see your channel evolving. Humm, maybe it's becoming a Tesla Travel Channel? Keep up the good work.
There's another EV1 at the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan. I also have some EV1 videos on my channel
Loved the old adsa and news stories about the EV1 and AC Propulsion car.
Awesome video Kim. I remember seeing the documentary "Who Killed The Electric Car" back when I was in middle school. I think it was that film that got me interested in Electric Vehicles. Today I am driving a used 2015 Nissan Leaf.
We LOVED our Leafs! 2012 and 2014.
@@ItsKimJava worthless electrical cars you moved your carbon footprint to a MEGASIZED Carbon/nuclear waste, factory called your electric co
punker4Real Nuclear about a third of global electricity comes from emission-free sources. Electric cars still pollute less than ICE cars, even if they are charged from the grid.
great job kim! im actually practicing on how to edit videos myself in order to promote my AWD M3... so, everytime i see your vides, it gives me ideas and pointers... by the way, what editing software do you use? Final Cut? Adobe Premier?
Thanks, my husband does all of the editing....it’s Final Cut Pro X.
Been watching since you started. great content!!!
😮😮😮 So cool !! Thanks for the great content Kim !!🔋🔌
5:35 Why not visit huntsville, al? It's not too far from atlanta and you get to see a real life standing up saturn v there.
Love the Space and Rocket Center, but the one standing up is an impressive 1:1 scale model. SA-500D is horizontal and now thankfully indoors.
EV1! EV1! EV1! EV1! I recommended you guys go to the Tellus Museum. Glad you finally did. I've seen 2 surviving EV1s. I plan on seeing another one by the end of this year. The coolest cars around! :D
There is a working one at Missouri University of Science and Technology in Rolla. It was made to drive on its own.
So cool, thx 4 sharing!
EV1
Very cool! Although they actually had electric cars in the 1800’s... I actually recently toured a museum in Saskatchewan Canada that had a massive electric car exhibit. Due to the kind of batteries they had back then I would think electric cars would have been worse for the environment then gas cars. I hate when prototype & test vehicles get destroyed, so sad!
I'm pretty sure you're referring to the Reynolds Museum in Alberta, but if there is one in Saskatchewan, please let us know where!
Well done, interesting video. Glad you posted it.
Great vid!
In the early 1900s and before urbanization an electric car was a sensible alternative to a gasoline engine car. Most shopping was done within a one or two mile radius of where you lived. Some early Baker electric cars had a range of up to sixty miles. A Baker electric was seen on the streets of Cleveland as late as the early 50s.
Imagine how high tech the 2020 version of the ev1 would've been.
Absorbed glass mat batteries at first for EV1. Special lead acid in my mind. If your super nerdy you call it the "Impact". You guys are cool parents :)
Kim great video thanks for sharing
I also purchased a carbonraffle.org ticket. Keep your fingers crossed! :)
The 1903 Waverly with a canopy is $950 which is $23,540 in 2010 money by an inflation calculator. Its like a Leaf with the same range and problems in Winter.
I think the first automobile was Nicholas cugnot's steam wagon thing from the late 18th century. It's a common misconception that the first car was the Benz motorwagen. The Benz was just the first car made to be sold commercially.
I've been there about 3 or 4 times!!
Great video, would love to have seen more!
Wow, Kim, this is the best video in a while from You :p
You should visit Jay Leno’s Garage, he has two electric cars and an electric motorcycle.
Very interesting !!!
Awesome video... as usual
Very cool!
Evs are future no crushing them an raking away from us !!! Mine is bought
The hand crank also could break your arm or wrist. Back then, that was a very very serious injury.
Is that Tellus? Should check out Savoy in Cartersville
I’ve seen it in tellus a few times
The 115 year old Tesla killer
Goooood video
hi thanks for nice video,s
I’d love to go back in time to 1999 and tell GM they’d make another electric car 18 years later.
You'll know Chevy has lost it when their EV1 looks better than their Bolt.
Hell yeah
thanks for sharing Kim.. what is the name and where exactly is it?
Tellus Museum in Georgia
3:56 I’ll give you a million for one unit to keep!
Thanks for another great travel video! Interesting fact: the engineer driving the T-Zero is Alan Cocconi, who built the car and also is responsible for the electronics of the GM Impact which became the EV1. More information at: model3ownersclub.com/threads/who-is-alan-cocconi-and-why-does-he-matter-to-the-modern-ev.7701/
Both of Alan's EVs directly inspired the creation of Tesla Motors.
Also if no one else knew
Nissan had Toyota synergy drive ..(then had their own system)
and GM had a few hybrid as far back as 2008 model year (tahoe it got 20/20MPG) it had 30 miles EV range(had to be under 29mph or the engine would kick on) 2 mode (it was actually 3 mode hybrid ) Auto stop/electric /gas
Dodge/Chrysler had the same GM two mode as well..
the GM 2 mode used the same Toyota Prius Battery so you can still get replacement today. it's 2900$ for a replacement battery..
the two mode was better I tested it and it had a 6.0L engine with standard automatic 4 speed gear box and CVT combination so you can get good performance out of it for "towing"..
Great Graph, but what is 440 ppm?
Parts per million. Unit of measure of co2 in atmosphere.
I live in Chattanooga and haven’t been there yet. Rest of family has tho
and here i thought no one in this generation would be able to see an ev1 in person i was so wrong did not know this car was in a museum and soon gm will be talked about in a museum bye bye gm
It is wonderful seeing the Benz and all these products that were pioneers !!!
It´s so interesting.
I´m an inventor and I am also about to make a huge impact on the automotive history.
Believe-me.
The Benz is a replica. Several museums have them. The original was donated to the Deutsches Museum in 1906.
GM is a great company. They can provide quality cars at a lower price.
Do you have an address for that place
Search for Tellus Museum in Georgia
Nice Cans....
I missed the tesla contest, but im wondering how many tickets were purchased by the winner... im kickingmyself, because I waited too late...
Does anyone think that Tesla needs a media streaming service or Netflix app that pops up when u plug into a super charger so you can watch stuff while your charging up???
2:14 the graph is pretty clear yet we still have deniers??!?!!
Even the deniers are believers. It’s just money.
@@ItsKimJava that's true actually, I guess there's always money to be made by someone when there's chaos, same for us here with this whole Brexit mess
PS. I live in the UK and have a model 3 reservation, been a long wait
I'm not a conspiracy theorists, but that moon rock looked like a piece of cheese to me 😄 .Great content as usual Kim thanks
kevin masey because the moon is made of cheese...
So sad to see the EV 1 in that state at a museum and next to the EV 1 would be the Chevrolet Volt (gen. 1&2). Since they both got killed by GM.
At least they now have the Bolt, which can still fit a generator in the trunk.
I don't think the EV-1 was meant to succeed, and when it started to, they recalled it.
Rockefeller fries in the phlogiston of his own creation.
Needs a 7.0 V8 from a C6 Zo6.
Interesting at 10:22
Got a question about model 3 mid range stockpiling inventory,
ruclips.net/video/BNvmB2PGGz0/видео.html
Do u mind taking a look and make a video if you have any ideas on why?
Should I be concerned about this?
You can actually by a electric back in 1992 in California, what happen that?
Watch the movie “who killed the electric car”
Unfortunately the hat shaded your face, Kim. Nice tour of the Museum.
I can't tell you how many times I have had to take the Tesla Model X to the circus because "the children want to go".
👍😊
Hmmm... in '92 I was in high school. I never heard anything about a meteor hitting a car, even specifically an electric car. But I do somewhat remember the clip of that meteor falling. I knew about what I consider 'wanna~be' all electric cars from way back when, when they looked like carriages that at least one horse would pull. I've not once heard of any built in the 90s. It wasn't until all electric vehicles that are still sold now, such as the Leaf, the Chevy all electric vehicles and the few(ish) other makes that build all electrics now. Those EV1s look like a mistake that was meant to exist in the 60s/70s. The Tzero... just looks like a mistake.
Early electric cars weren’t advertised to women because the hand crank got them dirty. It was because hand cranking and engine was difficult and if the engine backfired, the crank could break your arm.
If only 1996... 2006,2016...22 years ago? If only a Fossil car manufacture had a 22 year head start on Tesla's electric cars.
I believe the electric motor controller in the ev1 was designed by the same person that eventually made the motor controller for the Tesla roadster.
I oftener use my Leaf more than my other car. ;)
115 years?
