Who killed the electric car?DVD and Resources
For a look at the past, present and future of the electric car, watch "Who Killed the Electric Car?". This documentary follows the development of the electric car and mourns its loss.
Who Killed the Electric Car? is presented as a whodone-it mystery. Staying true to this genre, the film
opens with necessary background information,
describes the crime committed, answering all of the
what, where, and when questions, and then in the
style of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle gathers the suspects for
close scrutiny, coming to a conclusion on the guilt or
innocence of each.
