It was born out of the emission requirements they expected to be coming out of California, but ironically, the original concept, the Impact, was so well received by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) that they imposed even stricter requirements that were near impossible for any automaker to achieve, leading to all automakers banding together to stop it. GM would later crush all the EV1's to avoid liability, and yet that act of crushing the cars lead to the start of the eventual largest electric car maker on the planet, Tesla.
