A must see documentary. I rented "Who Killed the Electric Car" last spring and I was absolutely shocked, stunned and sickened at what I learned.
In a nut shell, between '96 - '04, GM and other car manufactures created and leased electric cars (in CA) such as the EV1 which could travel over 100 miles on a charge. This production of EC's was spurred due to California's enormous smog issues and the advent of a law that required car makers to reduce emissions. What will sicken you is how the technology and the cars themselves vanished under pressure from.....guess who? Yep, big oil!
A must see documentary, rent it today and pass the word along to your friends and family. I'm floored that so few people even know about this.
