FROM THE EV1 CLUB WEB PAGE On the Next EV1 EXCERPT: 1999 Model Preview Most 1999 model EV1 changes will apparently be "under the hood". Colors: same as 1997 model (red/green/silver-blue). The interior will have a different fabric. Power electronics bay has been redesigned to use fewer components, reducing cost and increasing reliability. The charging system will be capable of handling the 50 KW "fast-charge" system, which will soon be field tested on Chevy S-10 fleets. The rear end suspension has been tweaked to reduce oscillation. This was actually incorporated into the last of the '97 cars (perhaps after about #600). NiMH battery versions of the '99 cars will be produced at the end of 1998. It was confirmed that battery cooling was a major issue, and that this technical problem was solved by using the air-conditioner to force cool air into the battery tunnel.
