・以上の理由からEV1は価格が高くても人々に人気があった
For the above-mentioned reasons, EV1 was popular despite its high price.

・事故が原因で何件かリコールされた
It was recalled several times due to accidents.

・販売中止の理由はいくつか説があげられます
There are some theories as to why it was discontinued.

(1) 売り上げが悪い
sales are weak

(2) Prevalence of electric cars would result in oil companies' loss of their biggest customers. In the wake of California's Zero Emission Vehicle Regulations, auto makers and oil companies sued the state of California. They claimed that the state of California has no rights to say what kind of vehicles auto makers should sell. George W. Bush, who had close relations with oil companies, was elected president in 2000, and in 2002 the Bush administration sided with auto makers and oil companies in the lawsuit. The Bush administration claimed that such regulations can only be enforced by the U.S. government. As a result, the regulations became ineffective, General Motors stopped their EV1 lease program, and other auto makers stopped developing electric cars.

(3) What if electricity replaced internal combustion engines? Tens of thousands of car parts would become no longer necessary. Auto makers' years of technical know-how would become useless and they would lose their identities.

(4) However, the truth behind the discontinuance is still a mystery.
