The
“Who killed the electric Car?” documentary is basically about how the idea of
the electric was developed, created and then chucked out into the scraps and
replaced by other ideas. Though in developing such a technology, different
ideas of how renewable resources are brought upon in consumers today.
The
Electric car developed due to the complications the gas car was causing to the
environment. The gas emitted of the gas car was damaging the environment around
us creating deadly smog, which would increase disease and sickness in certain communities,
people found it hard to breathe in certain areas and the increased amounts of
carbon dioxide in the air was an issue in its self with this creation of the
gas car. These issues lead to the conspiracies brought in modern society of
that of global warming and that the polar ice caps would melt causing the earth
to flood
Some
Major car companies such as GM Motors, Nissan and Toyota have always had the
idea of producing electric cars, but in their interest of sales the idea is
subsided. But with the corporate world taking over final decisions, they main
priority is sales and revenue, the cost to manufacture a gas car over an
electric car is much cheaper. It is also a lot easier to manufacture so
labouring cost and setup costs reduce as well for that sense. But also there is
a rumour saying that the electric car was put out of the market to make sure
that other competitors a chance.
The focus on the electric car and
how it died is very evident in the video but they also mentioned how certain
hybrid cars were developed in the process of development of creating the
electric ar.
