Popular electric cars headed for junk pile

A revolutionary attempt to bring electric automobiles to American drivers sputters to a halt this week in the Arizona desert.

But not without cries of protest.

General Motors is shipping the last surviving EV1 cars, the automaker's unique experiment in battery-powered transportation, from a storage yard in Burbank, Calif., to the GM Desert Proving Grounds in Mesa for "final disposition," which for most of them means crushing and recycling. advertisement

Monday morning, a crowd of protesters tried to block the trucks carrying EV1s leaving the California facility, with police arresting two people.

Makes no sense...you have oil and gas challanges. If somebody came out with a quality electric car...there would be a market (IMHO).
