Those 440-some that were not sold were collected, dismembered and crushed just like their EV1 siblings. So you see, they did sell EV's. Didn't believe me huh? I find it hard to believe that all of the remaining electric vehicles were sold to just one customer. I believe the source is incorrect. The fact that they couldn't sell many of them is good reason to destroy the POS EV's. They have great power but lousy range, and the batteries are a enviromental disaster in waiting. This is not going to happen without hydrogen powered fuel cells. SUVs were promoted as the ultimate family car. Something every family must have......that kind of marketing is very effective with Americans. BS, the industry noticed that Jeep Cherokee sales and Suburban sales were going up. It was not till then that they found that many family's discovered them on their on. They then decided to make their rides smoother add options, and only then did they increase marketing. You don't seem to understand that if the product has little value that marketing can only sell the product for a year or two. Pet rocks are a good example.
