News Desk |
| General Motors ground-breaking
electric car 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? |
| This perplexing question in the
central focus of Chris Paines compelling new documentary Who Killed the
Electric Car?, which tells of the exciting development of the electric
car under California's zero emissions vehicle mandate in the 1990s, and
of the vehicles eventual demise from shortsighted corporate greed and
government ineptitude. |
| Paines film, which is independently
financed, will educate viewers and inspire them to take action.
Zero-emission electric vehicles are a technological reality that drivers
could be using now, but the American auto industry is preventing their
use and thwarting their development. |
