Who Killed The Electric Car (2006, U.S.A.)

In 1996, electric cars began to appear on roads all over California.  They were quiet and fast, produced no exhaust and ran without gasoline.  Yet ten years later, these cars were destroyed.  Running solely on electricity, General Motors’ fleet of EV-1 electric vehicles were so efficient, they were on the brink of altering the future of driving in America – perhaps even the world.  Those lucky enough to drive one gave it glowing reviews.  So why were they all destroyed?

Narrated by Martin Sheen WHO KILLED THE ELECTRIC CAR? is a murder mystery that unravels the puzzling demise of a vehicle.  One that could have saved the environment … and ended America’s dangerous addiction to foreign oil.
