“Who Killed the Electric Car?': Some Big Reasons the Electric Car Can't Cross the Road” from the New York times, is written by Manohla Dargis. He argues in the article that the main reason the electric car got pushed off the road is because of the oil companies and the government policies. In the article, he wrote “Henry Ford and cheap oil helped keep electric cars off the road, leaving the fast-growing highway system to the spewing, sputtering internal-combustion engine.” The article also focused on the perspective of the government side and supported its claim with the interview of the director of the film, Chris Paine. In the article, Dargies wrote, “What happened next, Mr. Paine explains, is a familiar story of corporate greed and governmental corruption, mixed in with flickers of idealism and outrage.”
