Question by 120: What do you think about the “Who killed the Electric Car” documentary?
Could there be collusion among GM, Toyota, Nissan, Chrysler, etc, or rather -put it simply – the US Government told them “forget it and pull it off the Market; we cannot afford to lose Taxes”, kinda offer they could not refuse…?
Best answer:
Answer by what did i do to deserve this I have not seen this documentary but I have long said that the replacement of the internal combustion engine dependent on petroleum-based fuel has been available for many years but has been kept off the market by exactly this means – US (and other nations) government influence on the ever willing auto companies to keep things the status quo. Govt will only allow alternate energy resources to exist as they learn to profit from them in taxes as they have been able to do so from gasoline, etc. They haven’t been able to figure out how to tax fuel made from other sources yet so they’ve prevented it from happening. Interesting that someone would do a doc on this subject.

Answer by emiller1998 It was a 1 sided Michael Moore movie that was made to bash GM and nothing else.
Toyota, Honda, and Ford also made fully electric vehicles at the same time. GM was the 1st to start and the last to stop. They all crushed theirs too. Why aren’t they blamed?
Their are no more electric cars because people didn’t want to pay -100k for a sub compact with a range of about 50 miles before it needs an over night charge. They wanted to be able to drive in very hot and cold climates too. Greedy people….
Question by kc: Is “Who Killed the Electric Car” an appropriate movie to show my students?
I teach a seminar on global warming and pollution at a 4-year college in Boston. I thought “Who Killed the Electric Car” might be an interesting movie to show my students, but does the movie’s condemnation of GM and American politics make it inappropriate?
Btw, the viewing would be optional as I am planning to show it on a school holiday.
