Who Killed The Electric car
Finally, in late 2008, big North American car makers are announcing they’ve built alternatives to their traditional polluting automobiles. But they could have done it years ago. What took them so long? See the film that tells the story and help to prevent similar things happening again.

It was among the fastest, most efficient production car 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 EV-1 electric vehicles in the Arizona desert? WHO KILLED THE ELECTRIC CAR? Chronicles the life and mysterious death of the EV-1; examining the cultural and economic ripple effects caused by its conception and how they reverberated through the halls of government and big business.
