Artifact Overview
This diagram shows the layout of the General Motors' EV1. Heavy batteries were well distributed to even out the weight, helping the car's handling. The vehicle's range was 70 to 90 miles with special lead-acid batteries exclusive to the EV1. In 1998, GM switched to longer range nickel-metal-hydride batteries.
