GM Abandons Electric Cars

Jan. 12, 2000 -- General Motors Corp. has
stopped production of its sleek EV1 electric car,
citing waning interest from its customers.

GM vice chairman Harry J. Pearce said
Tuesday that GM was shifting its attention from
all-electric cars to vehicles powered by hybrid
fuel-electric systems and fuel cells, which use
hydrogen to create electricity.

Pearce says the company had a sufficient
supply of EV1s on hand and while GM could
build more, there is "no particular need."
