"Who Killed the Electric Car"

"Who killed the electric car" is one of the most moving documentaries of the future that I've seen about the onset of a pollution free world with the creation of "electric cars" but its production was hijacked by the alleged suspects: the oil industry, the US Government, General Motors, the C.A.R.B. and the consumers - as most consumers never knew or did little to save it and its immense benefits. It is not a "dream". We were already in the future, until...


The documentary directed by Chris Paines and is 91 minutes long is a must see..

It was among the fastest, most efficient production cars ever built. It ran on electricity, produced no emissions and catapulted American technology to the forefront of the automotive industry. The lucky few who drove it never wanted to give it up. So why did General Motors crush its fleet of EV1 electric vehicles in the Arizona desert? “Who Killed the Electric car” chronicles the life and mysterious death of the GM EV1, examining its cultural and economic ripple effects and how they reverberated through the halls of government and big business. An official 2006 Sundance Festival Selection.
