Some Of History's Most Unique and Unusual Cars and Trucks

General Motors Fumbled The Bag So Hard

Nowadays, electric cars are all the rage. More and more people are getting Teslas, and companies like Ford and Kia are now rolling out fully electric vehicles of their own. Heck, even Hummer is coming out with an EV late next year! But, all of these developments seem so recent. So, you'll be just as shocked as we were when you find out that General Motors was making a fully electric car all the way back in 1997.

Investors didn't see the use in funneling money into an electric car project, and GM gave up on the EV-1 soon after. But, if they had stuck after it, now all those people would probably be driving GMs instead of Teslas.
