Movie - Who Killed The Electric Car?
A documentary that investigates the death and resurrection of the electric car
WHO KILLED THE ELECTRIC CAR is Chris Paine’s documentary that investigates the death and resurrection of the electric car, as well as the role of renewable energy and sustainable living in our country's future.
Volatile gasoline prices, fossil fuel shortages, and unrest in oil producing regions around the globe spurred mainstream consumer adoption of the hybrid electric car. But the all electric car was killed.
Learn the story of the electric car, its place in history, and the larger story of our car culture and how it enables our continuing addiction to foreign oil.
This film not only calls to task the officials who squelched the Zero Emission Vehicle mandate, but all of the other accomplices, government, the car companies, Big Oil, even Eco-darling Hydrogen as well as consumers, who turned their backs on the electric car and embraced the SUV.
