Who Killed the Electric Car?

Electric Car After being reminded by the trailer for this movie, I can distinctly remember (despite my bad memory) the announcement and hubbub surrounding the launch of the electric car in California around ten years ago. Of course, at the time, I was completely off the map, lost somewhere is North Carolina… but somehow, I can remember it.

This upcoming movie delves into the short and tragic life of the electric car project from GM calling its dismantling “one of the biggest blunders in the history of the automotive industry.” Judging by how cool the car looks in the trailer, I can see why.

If you’re not up on the subject, check out this article at the Washington Post discussing the sad fate of the National Museum of American History’s “rare surviving example of that car.”

Don’t forget the official site for the movie (which basically just has a low quality trailer up).
