-Conspiracies-



I downloaded and watched "Who killed the electric car?" and it is pretty shocking. Its kind of hard to figure out what is hippie tree hugger junk and what is real but I think its pretty safe to say that there is some serious corporate greed/cover up going on. Why would GM go through so much trouble to destroy a car? I think GM realized the Saturn EV1 was actually a good car and they did take it off the market because they wouldn't make money on it. At least they wouldn't make money on it the way the like to. Not only do car companies make money on the sale of the car but they make a good chunk of money on maintenance. Since electric cars have very very little maintenance it would cut a huge chunk of profit out of GMs bottom line. Not only that but electric cars will theoretically last much longer than a gas powered car. That means selling less cars. It seems the video portrays every one loving the EV1. I am sure thats not really the case. Its hard to figure out what was going on but for a company to go so far out of there way to destroy a car, seems a lot fishy to me. Why not sell them with no warranty?
