Allright so preventing hundreds of people from renewing their leasing contract (as you said $300 a month with no cost to GM) and then crushing all those totally working almost brand new cars instead of selling them to the former leasers that offered a ton of money to GM is very very cost effective!
They just wanted people to forget that car existed and thats why they lost money on purpose. They have no interest in creating a car that runs like a charm doesnt need replacement parts and has no use for fuel. But whatever keep dreaming your dream xD
Again it is a conspiracy when they start to lie about what happened etc.
BTW. They didnt say "Its to expensive to make this car" back in the day because that was not the issue (The issue was the LAW that would force them to pay even higher penalty charges so making the cars was cheaper than not making them. So the COST argument makes no sense in that situation)
They were successful in overturning the law and after that was done they removed all the EV1s so the people would forget about them . They ignored that the already built VE1 would make them some money because people would keep leasing them and they also ignored the cheque offered by former EV1 "owners" in favor of long term profit by selling "sabotaged" cars that need more repairs and replacement parts.

GM could maintain a $300/month contract or recover (potentially) $100,000 by writing it off as an operating loss ... Big surprise they didn't keep the $300/month contract.
You (obviously) have never paid any attention to business and/or accounting in your life.
