The 115 Year Old Electric Car That Still Runs & A Surviving EV1!

To short video...

OG modern electric vehicles! I'm so glad there's still EV1 that survived the carnage back then.

So cool, thx 4 sharing!

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.

Thank you for the video - I really enjoyed the history and presentation of the electric cars.

😮😮😮 So cool !! Thanks for the great content Kim !!🔋🔌

You'll know Chevy has lost it when their EV1 looks better than their Bolt.

I missed the tesla contest, but im wondering how many tickets were purchased by the winner... im kickingmyself, because I waited too late...

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...

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.

Great video. Looks like a terrific museum. Thanks for sharing.

33k for a lease hahaa what a joke

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"..

why wouldnt an electric engine run after 100 years?? you even know how this shit works?

GO ELECTRIC IS THE BEST THIS IS WHAT WORLD DO NOW GO ELECTRIC TO SAVE THE WORLD.

Hey I remember taking a field trip here in 8th grade

The 115 year old Tesla killer

I hate Tesla

The hand crank also could break your arm or wrist. Back then, that was a very very serious injury.

Needs a 7.0 V8 from a C6 Zo6.

I live in Chattanooga and haven’t been there yet. Rest of family has tho

I still have my EV1 but dad gave to me

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’d love to go back in time to 1999 and tell GM they’d make another electric car 18 years later.

‘Global Warming’ hysteria. A massive fraud. I own a Tesla M3, please let the great car sell itself without the climate change Hyperbole.

Imagine how high tech the 2020 version of the ev1 would've been.

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

You can actually by a electric back in 1992 in California, what happen that?

FU** GM! Greedy bastards

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.

Great vid!

Those bubs omg

20 Year old

Stop all Oil Wars. Drive EV.

Global warming is not caused my humans. Read a hlhistry book lady.

So happy thers still an ev1 alive

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.

You should visit Jay Leno’s Garage, he has two electric cars and an electric motorcycle.

Wrong.

Where the hell did you hear that rising temperatures were directly linked to internal combustion engines and CO2 emissions? Can you provide even one article that has proof of that? No, you can’t, because we have no “proof”

There is absolutely no real evidence that supports that theory. Yes, temperatures have risen. I’m sure you’re aware that over the thousands of years this planet has been here that the temperature have always gone up and down naturally? It’s always happened and always will happen. We’ve had ice ages and times when the earth was so hot it was not live-able.

Correlation does not equal causation. Is it possible that CO2 has caused the temps to rise? - Certainly.

But there’s is no “direct link” that internal combustion engines and CO2 is the cause of the increase in temperatures. We don’t have nearly enough data to accurately determine that. At best we’re just guessing. There’s even thousands of the most pronounced scientists that dispute it.

Nice Cans....

Theyve tried the electric car for 80 years. Hasn't worked. It's a fad, always has been. Idiotic democrats buy them thinking they're saving the earth, yet using natural coal and nuclear resources to charge their lithium bomb on wheels

I’ve seen it in tellus a few times

Actually it would be 24 years ago today

115 years?

Not 115 years old

Evs are future no crushing them an raking away from us !!! Mine is bought

Goooood video

Is that Tellus? Should check out Savoy in Cartersville
