About Our Vigil at GM

On February 16, 2005, a group of concerned Californians joined a coalition of organizations to rally together to keep 78 zero emission, zero gasoline full electric cars from being destroyed by General Motors

This first day that the Kyoto Protocol went into effect marked first day of a round-the-clock vigil at the GM Training Center in Burbank, California.

Our demands to GM are:

1. Stop dismantling and crushing the EV1s and offer the remaining cars for sale or on open-end lease.

2. Restart your electric vehicle engineering efforts with a goal of offering fully electric vehicles or plug-in hybrid vehicles with at least 20 mile all-electric range, by 2008.

3. Increase GM overall average fleet fuel economy to 50 mpg by 2010 and build an entire fleet of zero emissions vehicles by 2020.
