Each Friday evening I show my EV's at a local "Cruise In" See www.coppercitycruisers.org<http://www.coppercitycruisers.org/> & http://public.orb.com/cccruisers<http://public.orb.com/cccruisers>
Last evening I had an interesting conversation with a gentleman who worked many years ago at a Florida Saturn Dealership in the parts department. Says he had the opportunity to drive a GM EV1 He enjoyed driving it. Interesting comment he made. Claims he was paid a bonus for selling additional parts, also claimed he lost money (no bonus) as there were no parts required to replace on the GM EV1 when it came in for service. At most all the EV1 required when serviced was minor brake or alignment work...non of the typical parts required to keep an ICE engine running Definitely, a loss to the aftermarket parts supplier...EV's just do not require the maintenance that a typical ICE requires! I love it! From the perspective of a car owner-the basic reason why more EV's should be on the road! From the perspective of the parts supplier, a definite reason to keep EV's from being mass produced...............
