    Why did they want them back so much, and why does this wonderful electric powertrain technology so often come paired with invasive Terms and Conditions?

      I remember that was always a big question mark back then; was there somesort of safety issue or budget problem? Also, technology has greatly improved since the days of lead acid and NiMh. I think later models dabbled in lithium, but they got less than 100 miles in range.

      Leasing a car is quite common even today and benefits a certain demographic and those who like the latest. That hasn’t changed much since then. The difference in this example was that leasing was the only option, you couldn’t buy outright.

      Still, I commend GM for what they got out the door. It was major headway in the field.
