Still on the www.apple.com/trailers theme I have come across another documentary that appears to be quite interesting. Who Killed The Electric Car? examines the battle that the electric car has had with the oil and car giants, whose interest in making money is the primary reason that electric vehicles haven’t become more mainstream. The documentary argues that the likes of General Motors and the oil giants have waged a propaganda war against electric cars which effectively lead to their failure. I had to chuckle when I heard a line from the trailer in response to comments made about the ‘impractical’ nature of electric cars:

The electric vehicle is not for everybody, it can only meet the needs of 90% of the population.

I can see how GM could argue that their Hummer is a better match for the population’s needs…
