It was among the fastest, most efficient production cars ever built. It ran on electricity, produced no emissions and catapulted American technology to the forefront of the automotive industry. The lucky few who drove it never wanted to give it up. So why did General Motors crush its fleet of EV1 electric vehicles in the Arizona desert?

Because as the song "Jesus of the Anarchy" says:

Facist pigs,
Of D.C.
Don't know what is best for me.

the electric car sucked... it wasnt fast, it was slow as heck, and it had a little weird funny sound, like those mini electric cars...
