Uh...not all EVs were smashed. Just the ones from GM. Rav4 EVs exist (darelldd.com). As do some Ford Rangers. Sorry but GM had the biggest say in killing the electric car. apparently toyota/ford/honda, etc. wanted to and did smash some, but a few escaped into the wild as sold vehicles and still run today, putting on over 100,000 "gas-free" miles. The only EV1 from GM that still exists is in a museum...not alot of miles being put on that one.

also check out ev1.org.

This is the saddest picture of our time:

Actually there are dozens of them in Honeoye New York. They're there for a very specific purpose.

This statement is demonstrably false. The is no reason to demonize GM for doing exactly the same thing as several other manufactures. Honda, Toyota and Ford all smashed EVs.

That some owners took legal action and found loopholes in their leases is irrelevant.
