    I forgot to describe the above. Top left is for children, describing how the EV1 works and how it was manufactured. Top right shows the EV1 and its variations. First is a 3 cylinder turbo engine with a CVT trans, that runs on compressed natural gas Second is a series hybrid that can run on a battery and has a turbine engine that runs on reformulated gasoline to charge the battery back up. Third is a parallel hybrid that has a 3 cylinder turbo diesel. Last is an parallel hybrid EV1 that has a fuel cell which runs on methanol.

    The two Evolution magazines are filled with articles about the people and the companies involved with the EV1. At the bottom is an owner's manual.

    A couple more pieces. EV1 items are getting either scarce or very expensive. I wonder if others are starting to collect them.

    If you really want the gold standard of ev1 collectibles?

    Martin Scorsese has one in his stable of collectables. I'm sure he'd be willing to sell cheep - LOL.

    You'd be the envy of all if us EV nuts.

    IMG_20230104_075748.jpg

    The looks you'd get .... driving around town .....

    They DID also make an EV1 Bombardier style jacket you might want to get a hold of while you're driving around - too. Seen 'em on ebay. Don't forget to purchase the inductive paddle charger!

    ;)

    is it as small as it looks, or is the pic deceiving?

    PC member (evnut) Darell had one (crushed) - and posted this shot next to the early rav4 - for a better prospective .

    A testament to GM engineers - considering EV1 was a bit bigger;

    Gen1 insight Drag CD - 0.25
    EV1 Drag CD - 0.19

    slippery li'l devil.

    Señor Dobo you WILL let us know when you complete your collection of ev1 merch I hope.

    A few years ago I did see the red one on eBay. Fun fact -the fine print on the T-shirt refers to an arm/old subsidiary name of Edison - which was the company chosen to do the ev1's interior lighting.

    I don't think his works. Supposedly, the only one that still works is in the Smithsonian.
