Who killed the Electric Car?

Posted in Musings on July 18th, 2006 by Michael

Just got back from watching this and I will write a review, but here is one thought:

If so many of the high powered Hollywood Celebs loved the EV1. Why don’t they get together, each putting in a few million of their own fortune and start an Electric Car company? The movie seems to imply that a lot of people would pay for one with the right marketing and understanding, and even more important it seems that the infrastructure already exists in California to support an electric vehicle fleet.

So, what gives?
