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. |
