Who Killed the Electric Car?

The First electric car was invented in 1834 by Tomas Davenport. The battery was un-rechargeable. In 1890 William Morrison built an electric car in Des Moines that could travel 14 mph. In 1895 the first auto race in America was won by an electric car. Then in 1899 the first land speed record was set in an electric car, it went 66 mph. In 1900 33% of all cars produced were electric cars. In 1967 the Electric Auto Association was formed. In 1981-1900 GM funded a prototype of an electric car. In 1996 GM revealed the EV1 to the consumer. Then in 2000 GM said they would no longer be making the EV1, and would start to take them back. By 2006 all the EV1 and the other electric cars that other companies built were now off the road.
Through 1834-2000 the electric car was making many great improvements and recorded. Why did they stop building the electric car, and why did they have to destroy the cars? Many people believe that it is the consumer fault, because the manufacturer felt like the consumer hated the EV1. The consumers said the car was to small, not enough miles. In reality the car was perfect for the average American person, because no one travels more than 22 miles a day, and the car was a perfect size for an average person. The next thing GM said was wrong with the car was the battery technology, but there was nothing wrong with the batteries, GM just put in the bad batteries in the car. The next thing the consumers think killed the electric car was the hydrogen cell. They said that the hydrogen cell made people forget about the car, and move into a technology that might never come. If it does come one day it will be a cleaner for transportation. If GM said that the hydrogen cell would make us forget about the electric car then why is the consumer talking about it now?
The suspects that I think that really killed the electric car were the Oil Company, GM, federal government, and CARB. The oil company stopped funding money for charging stations, so how would government pay for the charging stations. The answer is they can’t without raising taxes a lot and no one what that. It also said that the oil lobbyist pressured the government a lot to sell oil. The next group that is at fault is the federal government. The first reason they were at fault is they did not push the air mandate more; they just let it slip away. Then what the government should have done is made the oil companies pay for the charging stations. The last reason the government is to blame is when we had the cheap technology for an easy and clean electric car the government change direction with the hydrogen fuel cell, and that technology is very expensive and it might never come. The next group that is to blame is CARB. Why CARB are to blame is failed to steer the electric car in a good direction said the Who Killed the Electric car movie. The last group that is guilty is GM. GM is guilty because when the mandate was taken away in California They stopped making electric cars. Also when the mandate was gone they took back the EV1 that people were leasing for the company and destroyed the car, so they can never be on this earth again.
Why was the electric car destroyed? I don’t know, but in this type of world today we really need it. The groups that is guilty for killing the electric car is the federal government, oil companies, CARB, and GM. If we do not do something about global warming as a nation to fix this problem then maybe one day we will not have a world to fix or live in.
