Who Killed the Electric Car? (2006)

EW's GRADE
A-

Details Limited Release: Jun 28, 2006; Rated: PG; Length: 92 Minutes; Genre: Documentary; Distributor: Sony Pictures Classics

You can guess the theme (environmental innovation squelched by oil profits), but the true story of how GM destroyed hundreds of electric cars that were already on the road is a profoundly un-American tale of progress turned back on itself.
