CALSTART 11/25/1998 - EV1 With NiMH Batteries to be Previewed Dec. 5 Los Angeles - General Motors is inviting existing EV1 electric car lessees to a "sneak preview" of the new, longer-range, nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) battery-powered EV1 on Dec. 5. At the event in Los Angeles at the Bonaventure Hotel, attendees alsohave an "exclusive chance to pre-register for a 1999 Nickel Metal Hydride EV1," the invitation states. While GM hasn't yet announced pricing - or trade-up information for those with lead-acid-batteries - details on the car are already leaking out. At a Southern California Saturn dealership, EV1 lessee Jerry Green spotted a truck unloading a 1999 model. He said the body is unchanged except for a small, front-fender logo denoting NiMH batteries. Under the hood, smaller electronics mean the electric motor is now visible and a 110-volt charger is no longer provided. While some lead-acid EV1 drivers say their ranges are as low as 40 miles, Green said the NiMH dash display indicated a range of more than 100 miles.
