GM should have just sold the car and not lease it.

I heard that GM had a government deal that they were not allowed to sell the vehicles because since the EV1s were sold without taxes because of experimentation with the new vehicle the government had signed a contract that all EV1s were to be disposed of after the alloted time. But I've never delved far into the info about EV1s. I don't care either.
Sorry I like my petrol engines screw the planet.
