With gasoline prices approaching $4/gallon, fossil fuel shortages, unrest in oil producing regions around the globe and mainstream consumer adoption and adoption of the hybrid electric car (more than 140,000 Prius' sold this year), this story couldn't be more relevant or important. The foremost goal in making this movie is to educate and enlighten audiences with the story of this car, its place in history and in the larger story of our car culture and how it enables our continuing addiction to foreign oil. This is an important film with an important message that not only calls to task the officials who squelched the Zero Emission Vehicle mandate, but all of the other accomplices, government, the car companies, Big Oil, even Eco-darling Hydrogen as well as consumers, who turned their backs on the car and embrace embracing instead the SUV. Our documentary investigates the death and resurrection of the electric car, as well as the role of renewable energy and sustainable living in our country's future; issues which affect everyone from progressive liberals to the neo-conservative right.
Leave your thoughts about Who Killed the Electric Car?.
| Upstage MagazineKam WilliamsGiven the shortsighted shenanigans engaged in by these corporate-oriented politicians and greedy captains of industry, is it any wonder that we'd end up mired in the Middle East to ensure the flow of oil? Who killed the electric car? The usual suspects. |
| Killer Movie ReviewsAndrea Chasetells the tale of nefarious doings perpetrated for reasons that will raise both the hackles and the righteous indignation of its audience |
| Orlando WeeklySteve Schneider... just about a perfect doc, railing authoritatively against a disgraceful chapter in the annals of American business. |
| Boston GlobeTy BurrThe only question his movie doesn't ask is "What do you want your next car to run on?" That's up to you. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanWho Killed the Electric Car? makes you angry, and also sad, to live in a country where innovation could be contrived into an enemy. |
| Christian Science MonitorClayton CollinsDelivers a provocative exploration of competing interests -- each articulately voiced -- and of broad consumer indifference. |
| Arizona RepublicBill MullerAn entertaining if slightly skewed documentary about the short life and early death of General Motors' EV1. |
| Reeling ReviewsRobin CliffordAnother question that is, sadly, also answered: WHAT killed the electric car? The answer is, simply, greed. |
| AV ClubNathan RabinAbove all, the film is an extended love letter to the EV1, a sleek GM electric marvel that, by Paine's reckoning, marks the single greatest innovation in human technology since the wheel. |
| Detroit Free PressTerry LawsonRuns efficiently on its own energy and sincerity, which makes it not unlike the car it mourns. |
