Who Killed the Electric Car?


Al Gores lecture on global warming, An Inconvenient Truth, is doing boffo business this summer, so theres hope for filmmaker Chris Paines compelling, fighting-mad documentary about what happened to the EV1, the electric car (no gas, no oil, no polluting carbon-dioxide exhaust) that General Motors leased to a few lucky California customers in 1996, only to mash its fleet into scrap metal in the Arizona desert six years later. Though Martin Sheen is the films narrator, its not just the political lefties who can guess the culprits behind the plot to take the EV1 on its last ride. Part conspiracy thriller, part cautionary fable, heres an activist movie that might actually raise consciousness and do some good. Lets hope its not crushed on its way to the multiplex.
