plus the cost of production, upkeep, and parts/storage came into effect as well. it was a cool idea for those who drive less than 100 miles between charges, but having a built in generator (the Volt) opens the door for much longer travel... if you so wished.

Volt is light-years ahead of the EV1's technology anyways.
And who said GM started from scratch? The Volt incorporates many of the lessons learned from the EV1 program, just vastly improved.
