Who Killed the Electric Car? A retrospective…

So… WHO KILLED THE ELECTRIC CAR, according to the film? 2006 video documentary:

Who Killed the Electric Car? The suspects, according to the film: US consumers Batteries Oil companies Car companies US government California Air Resources Board Hydrogen fuel cell

Who Killed the Electric Car? The verdict, according to the film: US consumers - GUILTY Unwilling to purchase electric cars in sufficient numbers due to limited range of 100 miles, drop in oil prices, and America’s love affair with profitable SUVs

Who Killed the Electric Car? The verdict, according to the film: US consumers - GUILTY Batteries – NOT GUILTY According to engineer Alan Cocconi, the EV1 could have been upgraded to a range of 300 miles per charge with laptop computer lithium ion batteries.

Who Killed the Electric Car? The verdict, according to the film: US consumers - GUILTY Batteries – NOT GUILTY Oil companies – GUILTY oil industry financed campaigns to kill utility efforts to build car charging stations; Chevron bought patents and controlling interest in Ovonics to prevent NiMH battery use in cars

Who Killed the Electric Car? The verdict, according to the film: US consumers - GUILTY Batteries – NOT GUILTY Oil companies - GUILTY Car companies – GUILTY GM focussed on more immediately profitable enterprises such as its Hummer and truck brands, failined to produce cars to meet existing demand, and refused to sell cars directly

Who Killed the Electric Car? The verdict, according to the film: US consumers - GUILTY Batteries – NOT GUILTY Oil companies - GUILTY Car companies - GUILTY US government – GUILTY George W. Bush Administration joined the auto industry in a suit against the State of California to abandon its ZEV mandate

Who Killed the Electric Car? The verdict, according to the film: US consumers - GUILTY Batteries – NOT GUILTY Oil companies - GUILTY Car companies - GUILTY US government - GUILTY California Air Resources Board – GUILTY CARB succumbed to industry pressure and drastically scaled back the ZEV mandate after defending the regulation for more than 12 years

Who Killed the Electric Car? The verdict, according to the film: US consumers - GUILTY Batteries – NOT GUILTY Oil companies - GUILTY Car companies - GUILTY US government - GUILTY California Air Resources Board - GUILTY Hydrogen fuel cell – GUILTY fuel cell vehicles an unlikely future possibility embraced by auto makers, oil companies and a pro-business administration

Who Killed the Electric Car? The verdict, according to the film: US consumers - GUILTY Batteries – NOT GUILTY Oil companies - GUILTY Car companies - GUILTY US government - GUILTY California Air Resources Board - GUILTY Hydrogen fuel cell – GUILTY cars powered by hydrogen made with electricity use three to four times more energy than a car powered by batteries.

Who Killed the Electric Car? The verdict, according to the film: US consumers - GUILTY Batteries – NOT GUILTY Oil companies - GUILTY Car companies - GUILTY US government - GUILTY California Air Resources Board - GUILTY Hydrogen fuel cell - GUILTY
