I'm not sure the tech was there yet 30 years ago. EVs live and die by lithium batteries. The EV1 apparently used lead acid.

However, ten years ago the situation was entirely different.

    Ev1 switched to NiMH in year 2.

    Which was then bought by an oil company to hinder the development and deployment of the tech.

    I doubt that. NiMH were used in hybrids up to 2022.
