Question by martinmagini: Have you seen the documentary “Who Killed The Electric Car”?
Ever wonder why it all happened? Who actually was against having the EV1? Why car companies act like it’s so difficult to come up with a good electric car when it had already been done years ago? Who wanted to keep us dependent on oil? I wish I could figure it out.
Best answer:
Answer by Que Sera Sera Yes. Excellent doc. Gee, not sure who benefited from an oil-less car. …hm…..
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.
Documentary about GM killing of the electric car. It has been here since ’96 but they killed it off. If you believe in conspiracy theories: here’s one for ya.
Question by chironjitd: Wat do u think about an old general motors movie of “Who killed the electric car”?
it shows how GM made a fully functional electric car but didnt want people to actually buy it. they made it to fail in the public. their electric car was called the “ev1″. there are no more ev1(s) on the road anymore.
Best answer:
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….
