The EV Chronicles
Expanded and Updated
from the original EV1 Chronicles
to cover new electric vehicles
This page now covers some additional electric vehicles beyond the original GM EV1's we leased back in the 1990's. Unfortunately that time around, EV's fell below the radar horizon of everyone caught up in cheap gas, dot-com's, and real estate and stock market gambling investing. Perhaps this time the EV will "stick" as a serious alternative for daily commuting.
In the mean time, the loss of the EV1's had not stopped us from trying to continue to try out electric vehicles. Here are the updates to our continuing EV adventures:
- Early Years — The General Motors EV1

- Chevrolet Volt - a hybrid done right!
