Who Killed The Electric Car?

"Fashioned as a tongue-in-cheek murder mystery, this documentary looks at the rise and swift demise of the electric car in mid-90s California. Sleek, compact and environmentally sound, the prototype EV-1 electric car was developed by GM. But by the end of the decade, the sole remaining EV-1 was a novelty item in a motor museum. As in all od murder conspiracies, the suspects - General Motors, oil companies, the US vernment and consumers - all end up with blood on their hands. A timely reminder that we have the technology to save the world, if only that were the aim of those in charge." (Tribeca Film Festival)
