Electric Vehicles
So, i just watched “Who Killed the Electric Car?” and if you haven’t seen it, I recommend that you do.
The star of the movie is the Saturn EV1. It was made from 1996-2000 and was available only in California. A couple of other electric vehicles were also made: the Toyota Rav4, and the Ford Ranger.
I had absolutely no idea that Saturn made an electric car. I like to think that I am a somewhat intelligent person that knows what’s going on in the world, but why didn’t I know about this?
I had a discussion with some people at work, one of whom has a boyfriend that works for Saturn, and no one knew about it.
If they still had one available, I would buy it in a heartbeat.
Anyway, the movie talks about the big conspiracy of why they abruptly took them out of the hands of the lessees, and quickly off the market.
Is it because of the oil companies, car companies, or the consumers? You decide.
I’ve definitely become more environmentally aware recently. We can all work together to make a difference.
