The General Motors EV1 still exerts a strange fascination for electric-car fans and civilians alike. Its sleek, aerodynamic shape and pioneering all-electric drive (despite an initial range of only about 70 miles) make it an important vehicle in U.S. Fascination has only grown, as shown by reaction to the image of an EV1 in the.

For EVs, that means range, but it has also been a key for speed records and efficiency. With the arrival of electric cars, focus has shifted to the issue of range. Since range anxiety holds back many potential buyers, aerodynamics can play a key role. The more streamlined the car, the longer the range for the same battery.
