The movie “Who Killed the Electric Car” is based on the electric cars designed, developed, and manufactured by General motors, and later destroyed by the same company. I was surprised to see how a company could destroy the technology that is economical, futuristic, beneficial and pollution free. This documentary movie also deals with history of electric car in the automobile industries. This movie try to showcase the advantages, disadvantages of the electric technology, and try to figure out who might be the responsible for the demise of the electric car. This movie focuses its story EV1: electric cars developed and destroyed by General Motors. The merit for using an electric car is they are energy efficient. They are environmental friendly and the biggest benefit is that it reduces energy dependency. Electric car uses the technologies that stabilizes the human introduced climate change effect and maintain the living standard of humans.
The first portion of the movie describes about the development of the electric cars from the industrial age. The second portion of the movie features interview with drivers of EV1, engineers, the then political advisors, writers and experts of electric car technology. The third portion focuses on the suspects who were eligible for the destruction of such innovative development which could make a huge difference in the human life and its environment. Even though electric cars are supposed to be a good player in the automobiles industry, these cars were underdetermined by batteries on which they run. It is the common reason that General motors stated for the destruction of EV1. However; according to General Motors, the main reason it destroyed all leased EV1 cars is due to US consumers. According to them, they did not get demand for more electric cars from the people of California. This was the reason they stated to the federal government
