"Who Killed the Electric Car" Trailer

If you've ever wondered what happened to electric cars (or why there aren't more of them on the road), the documentary "Who Killed the Electric Car?" will explain everything. This film chronicles the introduction and later destruction of General Motors' EV1, an electric car that was discontinued after only a few years, at a time when thousands of perfect-condition electric vehicles were destroyed (despite a strong activist movement to save them).

The film is an investigation into all the potential "suspects" that contributed to the electric car's demise, from automobile manufacturers to consumers to the oil industry. After all, if electric vehicles ever caught on, both the oil industry and the automobile industry as we know it today would be threatened.

Writer/Director Chris Paine's documentary feature film Who Killed the Electric Car? premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2006 before its release by Sony Pictures to critical acclaim in 100 U.S. markets. The film was the third highest-grossing theatrical documentary of 2006 and screened with An Inconvenient Truth in many markets.

Currently in wide DVD release, film investigates the events leading to the quiet destruction of thousands of new, radically efficient electric vehicles. Through interviews and narrative, the film paints a picture of an industrial culture whose aversion to change and reliance on oil may be deeper then its ability to embrace ready solutions.

Who Killed the Electric Car? and Chris Paine were nominated by the Writer's Guild for Best Documentary of 2006. The film also received nominations from The Broadcast Critics Awards and The Environmental Media Awards for Best Documentary of 2006. The film won the audience award at the Canberra International Film Festival and won a special jury prize at the Mountain Film Festival.
