Who Killed the Electric Car?


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.
