EV-1:Who Killed The Electric Car

[MeraBoy]

EV-1: The electric vehicle produced by GM & quickly gained acceptance due to its technology. Unfortunately, GM decided to end the life of EV-1. Dateline talked to various parties on what/who caused the end of EV-1. Is it the oil industry, the US government, or ...

p/s:If Electric Car is so promising, is there a need for Hybrid / Internal Combustion Engine ?? Think about it.

it's possible IF there is NO conspiracy on internal combustion engine coalition (oil industry, car maker, government ???) as mentioned by those EV enthusiasts in the video.

In US, there may be going thru the transition phrase of :
gasoline engine-->hybrid -->plug-in hybrid -->electric car (EV)

But i dun understand: since GM can make EV1, y they need to go thru those redundant transition phases, especially due to the pressure of the amateur, then Toyota only started to look into plug-in hybrid (video below). The advantage of plug-in:the consumer has control as & when they 1 to charge the car using home electric supply (110V/240V).
