The people and tooling and parts supply chain for the EV1 are all long gone, and it wasn't really designed for true mass production to begin with. Putting the EV1 back into production would have taken as long and cost as much as designing a new and much improved car (the Chevy Volt / E-Flex platform) -- and the EV1's price and performance wouldn't be competitive against new EVs from Mitsubishi, Subaru, Think, Nissan & Renault, Toyota, Aptera, Phoenix, Tesla, etc.
