So to say they scrapped the idea is not very accurate. The car was not as efficent as the Volt will be, there was no backup power source, when you ran out of battery power you stopped... at least the Volt will be able to continue on.

It was the EV-1. And yes, they were leased just like the electric BMW minis. 850 a month for a year, and at the end of the lease, BMW gets the car back for evaluation just as GM did.
