Default Darell's EV1 video

One week before our EV1 was to be returned, I decided that I'd better capture some video of it. After the car was returned, I made my first attempt at video editing, and created this short bit of EV1 documentary. Like I said - my first attempt, done in 2003. Very few people have seen it as I only made a few DVDs for distribution early on, and then didn't think much more about it. I finally figured out how to get the video onto YouTube with reasonable resolution. Brings back memories, certainly. My daughter is well under two years old in the video. She's now 8.5 years old and still has very fond memories of that car.

Thanks Darell, a good thing to watch if you ever feel a car company can be trusted, well GM anyway. Although Toyota were going down the same road for a while weren't they? But some pressure wised them up.
The EV1 looked like a lot of fun, maybe one day there will be an EV2.

Great video. Makes me wish I had one just looking at it. Too bad I didn't get my license until 2005.

To watch it in high quality, just click on the Youtube typing on top of the video. It takes u right to the HQ.

Nicely done.

As an aside, the weather in November 2003 looked a lot like that of January 2009.

This should link to HQ video comment. You'll have to scroll up to the video though.

YouTube - EV1 - Driving it the final week before the crusher.

Please don't "not embed" video from you-tube, I can't see video on you-tube for some stupid reason, I have no idea why. I can always see the embedded video and after I watch an embedded video I can access you-tube, go figure?
