Who killed the electric car

Location

Body:

http://whokilledtheelectriccar.com is a documentary of recent events to make zero emission vehicles (ZEV’s) available in California and elsewhere (Oregon and 10 other states have now adopted California’s auto emissions (see http://cleancarsoregon.org ), including the now more flexible ZEV provisions). It also touches on the current efforts in plug-in hybrids. It is opening at the Hollywood theater July 12 and the Fox 10 theater July 21.

www.dontcrush.org outlines attempts to save vehicles from the California ZEV mandate.

www.pluginamerica.com is working to allow use of electricity to power pure electric and grid-connected hybrid vehicles.

www.calcars.org and www.eaa-phev.org show current efforts by many diverse groups to adopt existing hybrids (mostly the newer Toyota Prius) to be true dual-fuel plug-in hybrids--some with results of over 100 mpg!

www.pluginparters.org allows us to inform automakers that we want plug-in hybrid vehicles. (This time, we’ll keep score ourselves!)
