Launched by GM in 1996 in response to California's pollution crisis and resulting Zero Emission Vehicle mandate, the EV1 electric vehicle was a revolutionary modern car, requiring no gas, no oil changes and no muffler.

But the fanfare surrounding the EV1's launch disappeared and the cars followed. Was it lack of consumer demand, as carmakers claimed, or were other forces at work?

Those questions and more are answered in this compelling documentary that shines a light into the dark corners of the U.S. economy and government. 2006 EV Confidential LLC. All Rights Reserved.

 

For what it's worth, the Honda Electric car LIVES!

Long live the Honda Electric Car.

I saw one at a hospital parking lot in Pinellas County

just a few blocks from a car show.

There is a lot of liberal leftist environmental whacko BS stated in this film.

A GLARING example is that a 6 pound gallon of gas produces 19 pounds of pollution.
....do liberals whackos ever listen to themselves or each other?
-----------------------
Probably not.
--------------------

 

So do the Hollywood types who always support leftist liberal agendas......

do ANY of those people still drive electric cars?
------------------------

Or did they get a free one in return for their endorsement?????

If they truely BELIEVED their own BS, wouldn't they have kept them?
--------------------

 

Are the hollywood whackos who make their living by creating fantasy.........are they STILL saving the world?

Or is it that they didn't believe it from the very start?

More BS


Robert Simoneau Graduated from engineering school in 1972, interviewed with one of the big 3 automakers. First question I was asked was how to actuate an airbag. Long story short, it would take another 26 years when in 1998 airbags finally became mandatory, despite prototype development at the time.

USA automakers were rabid about not wanting safety feature: airbags, seat-belts. and even tinted tail lights. At the time we were getting product drawing with both metric and English units in order to transition the USA into the metric system ... guess who killed that idea?

As pointed out below imagine how much further along we would be today with solar, wind, battery and other technologies if oil and auto executives and corrupt politicians had any ethics and vision. Also imagine how many fewer wars would have been fought and our soldiers dying to protect middle east oil. today the USA wastes about 68% of all energy generated from all sources usually though heat loss (rejected energy), please link to the Lawrence Livermore energy flow diagram -2019.

Another related documentary is "taken for a ride", which will give you another dimension to auto, oil and tire industries systematic dismantling of public transportation.

And of course because of liberal hatred of a prosperous economy and Pres Trump,

we must swear to blame Trump personally for everything that doesn't fit the official leftist political narrative.
