Who Killed The Electric Car? dvd
In the 1990s, following California's passing of the Zero Emission Vehicle mandate, American car companies began producing electric cars for mainstream consumption. GM's EV1, which was by all accounts quiet, fast, and capable of driving up to 80 miles on one charge, used no gasoline and quickly developed an intensely devoted following in California. But even as its popularity grew, car manufacturers were fighting the mandate; it was overturned, and by 2005 just about every single EV1 had been recalled, crushed, and shredded. GM put its resources into the Hummer instead. WHO KILLED THE ELECTRIC CAR? looks at the tangled web of interests behind the car's untimely demise.

Recent Customer Reviews:
"Very interesting documentary about the coming and going - very soon afterwards - of the Electric car to the US. It must have been quite a threat to some very paranoid and short sighted people to have wanted an electric car off the road so quickly. The good news is that we are not sitting around waiting for big business to solve our transport problems for us. Instead, necessity being the mother of invention, there are some clever but small businesses coming up with viable alternatives, check out the Water4gas website. Or more radical still have a look at the magnetic motors being demonstrated on Youtube."
"This great documentary, directed by Chris Paine shows the last days of the electric cars being dramatically taken from their owners to be destroyed.
I thoroughly recommend it to anyone interested in electric vehicles and being non Dependant on petrol."
