I remember those, as I recall, they were “compliance cars” for California’s ZEV mandate, similar to Ford’s Ranger EVs.

I saw one up in Vail better part of a decade ago. I’ve seen more real Cobra’s than those. Super freaking rare.

I did not. Wow, that’s got to be extraordinarily rare. Probably a -500 on the “How Oppo is your Car?”

The Rav4 EV is awesome as fuck
And don’t forget the Ranger EV and even the S-10 EV. The best part is that GM made the S-10 EV FWD for some reason lol

Used prices for them are still pretty high.
It's a shame that Toyota still hasn't improved much on it in the 10 years or so that it's been out.

Definitely blows my mind they haven't made another real EV since this.

A letter in response to Peter J. Boyer’s article (April 27, 2009)
May 11, 2009
Peter J. Boyer, in his otherwise spot-on piece about the car industry, assumes that I once leased G.M.’s sadly fated EV1 electric car and, like other drivers of that twin-seat rocket of a vehicle, watched the emission-free car be wrested from my garage, towed away, and busted up into pieces of metal, glass, and rubber smaller than razor blades (“The Road Ahead,” April 27th). Luckily, I did not. The source of Boyer’s slight inaccuracy may have been the documentary film “Who Killed the Electric Car?,” which used a clip of a visit I made to the “Late Show with David Letterman,” during which I claimed to be saving America one electric car at a time. However, by the time I began shopping for an all-electric car, in 2003, the EV1 had already been yanked from showrooms as if the car had never existed. Instead, I found what was purported to be the very last electric car available for sale in the state of California—a Toyota EV. It had four doors, a rear hatch, room for my family, including a dog in the back, power windows, A/C, a great sound system, and the fastest, most effective windshield defroster known to mankind. When the car companies collectively, and, to some, diabolically, decided to take these cars back, the electric vehicles disappeared. But not mine. I have the pink slip. I own that car, and it is still driven every day, albeit by one of my crack staff of employees. My electric car recently crossed fifty thousand miles on the odometer with its original battery but without so much as a splash of gasoline.
