Who Killed the Electric Car?

10-05-2006 Who Killed the Electric Car?

I just finished watching the documentary Who Killed the Electric Car. As with most charged documentaries, it's fairly one-sided (electric cars vs. the world) but it did bring me to tears when they crushed the EV1's. The buildup and hype of the cars followed by the owners emotional attachment hooked me good. If you also get emotional about the destruction of one-of-a-kind technology avoid this film. I had the same reaction about the fate of the turbine car not long ago. Watching this will reveal if you are a true empathetic automotive enthusiast. Lisa laughed at me and called me a sissy when I started crying so I checked the "no" box for her. Crybaby or not, I recommend stocking up on tissues and watching it. Then head to EV1.org to share their pain.
UPDATE: found a blog from GM about the destruction.

Actually, I agree, the electric car is a horrible design idea. There are many reasons I agree that it's the wrong course. I fon't feel like typing them all in here so if you're curious, come bug me.

I would hate to stall out in the rain and have to work on the engine
