Who killed the electric car

A short post today, pointing you in the direction of a documentary I found today, Who Killed The Electric Car?. If you have read some of my previous posts, you probably know to take these claims with a grain of salt. After all, they are going to be biased towards one viewpoint. One thing I have always hoped for with higher gas prices is that people will move towards more environmentally friendly modes of transportation. The website for this movie alone provides quite a bit of information that I didn't know about. ...

Some good parts of the site were the timeline, the suspects and questions & answers but it's a good idea to check them all out. I didn't know that 100 years ago there were more electric cars than gasoline powered cars. Given some of the other stats on the timeline you can really see that the automotive industry chose one direction to go in and that was the main factor leading to electric cars seeming like such a new concept. Obviously, I have only checked out the website, but I found it chock full of interesting information to think about.
