Who Killed The Electric Car? - 2006
I drive a junker, and it is all I can afford at this time in my life. I would love to have a better vehicle. So when I watched this movie about beautiful, attractive electric cars being demolished by an automobile manufacturer, I was bug-eyed to be sure. There were hundreds of cars that looked about a thousand times better than what I’m driving, being crushed and demolished. This is heart shattering stuff.
The devotion of the prior owners of these vehicles touched my soul. They were mostly Southern Californians who tried to do their part to improve the environment by driving electric cars instead of gas guzzlers. One of the former employees of the Saturn EV1 leasing program, Chelsea Sexton, was featured throughout the video. She lost her job when the car manufacturer shut the program down and now is a spokesperson for electric cars. She’s gone from car promotion to politics, and is meeting brick walls everywhere. Car manufacturers and (who else?) gasoline producers are apparently conspiring to keep Americans from being able to drive electric cars.
Too bad, because gas isn’t great for air quality, and electric cars are much cheaper to drive. All those cute little electric cars went to their graves in an untimely, cruel way. This video starts with a funeral for electric cars. How appropriate!
This movie is available through Netflix.
