Who Killed the Electric Car? (2006)

Excellent footage, very well done.

This is one of the best documentaries ever done. The footage, and the people in the footage on both sides
of this issue, make one of most entertaining and revealing cases for its cause I have ever seen. It presents both sides of the issue, but makes it very easy to see that one side is seriously flawed.

It answers the question "why are people frustrated with government and big business" with a clear evidence.
The scene of the solar panels on top of the White House(before they were removed) pretty much sums it up.

Is it any wonder why GM's stock is hitting a 50 year low today?

A very important film. Every one should see it. June 30, 2008

a very timely documentary

A great film, though a bit heavy on the political side. Still, after watching this movie, there can be no doubt that electric cars are marketable and desireable.

This film documents the life of the EV1, a GM two seater electric car. The cars were leased to a select few customers in California and Arizona, then destroyed after a few years.

I live in Arizona close to several retirement communities, and I see people driving around in electric golf carts all the time, even in 100 degree plus heat. Electric vehicles work.

I am not a conspiracy freak, but this film nails the automobile industry, the government, and the oil companies for keeping electric cars out of the hands of the public. Once you watch this movie, their motivations will be very obvious.

I recommend this film highly. At this price, you can afford more than one copy. Watch it and pass it on, since you'll never see this movie aired on television. People need to know and think about this, especially while they pump $4 a gallon gas into their vehicle. June 28, 2008

The Promise of a Better Tomorrow... crushed by big oil and the auto makers

This is a great documentary that shows what progress and innovation can bring when big companies work for a better tomorrow, and how they will stop at nothing to destroy that progress when it threatens their money and power.

Living outside of California, I had no idea that these cars were used on such a large scale.

What a great impact these cars could have had on reducing our need for foreign oil and reduced smog pollution, if only the auto makers and big oil hadn't successfully killed it all. Keep betting on people buying gas-guzzling SUVs, see how well that works as gas passes $4 a gallon.

GM is probably regretting not expanding the EV program, but big oil is still laughing all the way to the bank. June 27, 2008

they've killed our future.

You will have a shock when you see the conspiration that was organised at the highest level to remove such a good thing for (earth's) future. You wont believe your eyes and ears... What I was considering the future is in fact the past. MUST SEE MOVIE. June 17, 2008

Do You Believe the Government Now?

This movie really gets you thinking. Is it any wonder that the oil companies have bought up the new, innovative rechargeable battery technology? Don't you think that the reason the gas prices are so high now (and going higher by the day) is that the oil companies (and their friends in the White House) want to force us to have to drill in ANWR and the Gulf of Mexico where they control all of the mineral rights rather than utilize the battery technology we already have that might put a serious dent in our dependence on fossil (non-renewable) fuels? Check out what Senator Bill Nelson from Florida says about the oil companies not drilling within the huge areas of the Gulf of Mexico they already have the rights to drill in. Get your hands on a hybrid now - at least you can start to wean yourself from those money-hungry oil companies (and their political allies) until someone figures out that they might actually make money by utilizing the battery technology sitting on their shelves. Shame on them (but then that's the American Free Enterprise System, eh? Them that has keeps on getting!) June 14, 2008
