À propos de ce produit

Product Information

In the 1990s, following California's passing of the Zero Emission Vehicle mandate, American car companies began producing electric cars for mainstream consumption. GM's EV1, which was by all accounts quiet, fast, and capable of driving up to 80 miles on one charge, used no gasoline and quickly developed an intensely devoted following in California. But even as its popularity grew, car manufacturers were fighting the mandate; it was overturned, and by 2005 just about every single EV1 had been recalled, crushed, and shredded. GM put its resources into the Hummer instead. WHO KILLED THE ELECTRIC CAR? looks at the tangled web of interests behind the car's untimely demise, laying out convincing cases against the auto industry, big oil, corrupt federal and state governments, and consumers themselves.Chris Paine's directorial debut is not especially stylish, but it is effective. He leads viewers through the twisty maze of politics and profit that surrounds the main story, taking time to dwell on the passionate attachment that many of the cars' drivers still feel for them. Appropriately, the film is narrated by Martin Sheen--the embodiment for many Americans of socially conscious leadership, thanks to his many years on THE WEST WING--and features interviews with a motley array of celebrities from Mel Gibson to Ed Begley, Jr., but the real star of the movie is the doomed car itself and all that it stands for. The film is not especially fair or balanced; very little screen time is devoted to criticism of electric cars, and the only person on camera defending the oil companies is a singularly slimy and unappealing spokesperson from whom most viewers would be unwilling to buy a used car of any variety. But it certainly succeeds as a rousing, if occasionally depressing, call to awareness and action.

  • Have Fun and Make the World a Better and Quieter Place

    In 1992 General Motors built a great little electric car called the EV1. They built 1000 of them, and put them out on lease. Nearly everybody who got one loved it, and begged GM to sell it to them when the lease was up. Instead GM took them all back and crushed them. Their claim was that people were not happy with the range of about 100 miles per charge, with the batteries of the time. In fact, GM nearly doubled the range just within the course of the year or 2 that they made them. In 2006 Chris Paine made a documentary film about this car, and the circumstances surrounding it. It is an epose type of film that GM and the oil companies hated, of course. If you are a member of the vast right–wing conspiracy, you will probably think that this movie was made by hippies and commies to cause ...

  • If you are interested in EVs, this is a must see for you and your kids.

    So after many years, I wanted to see "Who Killed The Electric Car" again, so I bought a copy. I watched it again tonight and it is really an eye opener. In 2003 most of the EV1s had already been crushed in secrecy out in the AZ desert but the last 78 units were in a lot locked behind a chain link fence at the GM facility in Burbank, CA. The coalition of protesters, known as the EV1 vigilers, spent weeks staked outside the gate 24-7, some days in the pouring rain, making sure that GM couldn't sneak the cars out in the night to be crushed. GM contended that no one wanted these cars which of course, was baloney. On day 15, the coalition set out to call them on it. In 48 hours time they signed up 80 people willing to put up $24,358 each to buy the remaining 78 cars for the residual price of ...

  • Quite Intriguing

    A friend recommended this movie. The movie was entertaining in a smart, engaging way. For political or persuasive films like this, watching with a devil's advocate mindset left one yet unanswered question-- why were the existing cars were taken away from the lessees (and why did they never had the opportunity to buy the cars in the first place)? Outside research (after seeing the movie) indicates this had to do with safety, but one wonders why, if this is the case, GM didn't present the public or the lessees with the safety facts that influenced their decision to not only stop offering these vehicles, but to take them from the drivers who apparently love(d) their cars. A very interesting, thought-provoking film. Doesn't seem overly biased-- exploring many reasons and many possible ...

  • Who Killed the Electric Car was the perfect title for this great DVD

    Saw this movie years ago. So glad I could find it in a reasonably priced DVD. The subject matter is as relevant today as it was it the 1990's. Many people are not aware that this country had great electric cars made in California back then and the technology to make them-- all electric, not just hybrid! Main problem, for all the reasons the movie stated, the car manufacturer decided to literally destroy all the cars after several years, not even letting those who leased them buy one, and many loved the car and wanted to buy one. All thinking people need to see this movie. The DVD was brand new, unopened in shrink wrap. I just wish media mail was faster-- but the shipping was free.

  • General Motors BLEW IT

    Who killed the Electric Car is one of the best if not the best documentaries on environmental issues and on why they murdered this wonderful product. Chris Pine's film paints a picture on an industrial culture whose aversion to change and reliance on oil may be deeper than its ability to embrace ready solutions. This film WILL frustrate you greatly. It's that simple. All of this talk about cars of the future with hydrogen fuel cells in 15 or 20 years from now is ridiculous. It's here NOW__and they KILLED it. The first cars weren't perfect. But we're talking 1996___! My GOD__by now they would be perfect and then some. This film which has been described in the New York Times as a murder mystery and a call to arms is the best documentary on Electric Cars I have ever seen. Mr. Paine ...
