Who Killed the Electric Car?

"Who Killed the Electric Car" is a video documentary on DVD that is well worth owning. The entire video was available on YouTube but was removed because of multiple party claims of copyright infringement.

A link to the trailer is provided. Links are also provided to video segments from the full video that are still available.

In the 1990s a whole fleet of electric cars were on the road in California. Everyone who leased one (no one was allowed to purchase one) wanted to renew or buy the one they were using but the vehicles were taken back by the manufacturer and destroyed. This is another example of suppressed technology allegedly snuffed out by big oil and automotive companies. There is also a mention of suppressed battery technology developed ideally for electric cars.

It is obvious there is big money in oil that would favor continuous use of gas fueled vehicles. Not to mention, there is also a lot money to be made in the manufacture, sale and replacement of the many parts required in the gasoline engine.
