Conspiracy theory aside, the earlier electric vehicle or EV likely cost too much to produce and that technology wasn't as advanced as what will be found in the Chevy Volt. For one, the lithium-ion battery pack is far superior than the nickel-cadmium pack used in the EV1, offering better range and lighter materials. In addition, the testing GM has been doing with the Volt demonstrates that the car won't wilt under Arizona desert driving conditions or freeze up in a Minnesota winter.
