Still #1

The documentary titled “Who Killed the Electric Car” details the events that surrounded the introduction of the electric car and the culmination of this campaign. This dream, as elaborated in the film, was never realized owing to the unwillingness of companies such as General Motors to manufacture such automobiles, corporate and political interests (Russian Online Channel). The automotive sector branded the cars as impractical and, at times, cumbersome. In the first episode the film delves into the development of the electric car while the second episode explores what led to the failure of this noble idea. The documentary brings to light the development of the electric car and the subsequent failure. It integrates interviews from various stakeholders such as actors, directors and politicians. Interviews have enabled the producer to put into perspective the various issues that the movie is propagating and how they influenced the realization of mass production of the electric car.
