EV1 Enigma Examined
By Wired Blogs EmailJune 19, 2006 | 3:32:15 PMCategories: Electric Vehicles
A new documentary investigates the short career of GM's electric vehicle, the EV1. Who Killed The Electric Car (trailer) will be in theaters beginning June 28.
Although the EV1 only lasted in the market for about as long as your typical NFL lineman's career (7 years), the folks who drove the vehicles, which were only available to rent, swore by the cars. But in 2003 and after $1 billion spent, GM made the curious decision to collect and then shred all of the cars.
Was GM protecting trade secrets, or did the dark influences of big oil force them to scrap the vehicles? Even more suspiciously, the EV1 that was on display at the Smithsonian, was recently taken off the museum floor and mothballed. Hmmm.
Electric vehicles are poised to make a comeback, with FeelGoolCars soon to release the ZENN and Commuter Cars producing the Tango. It may take a company outside of the influence of big oil to bring back EVs for good.
