WHO THE ... "KILLED" ELECTRIC CARS ?!?

WHO KILLED THE ELECTRIC CAR ? is a famous documentary about the "California Zero Emission Vehicle Mandate" showing how major automakers like Daimler, General Motors, Toyota, etc. have won an open and unfair fight against Electric Autos, EA drivers and supporters.

WKTEC was released by "SONY Pictures" in US-theaters in summer 2006 and is available as downloadable video file and as DVD (UK-Import) allover Europe since 2007.

This movie shocks and makes sad, angry and hopeful at the same time and was the final reason for EAA Europe founder Rüdiger Hild to join the Electric Auto Association in april 2007 and to enter this strange "David vs. Goliath-Fight" in july 2008.

Sad but true : the automakers won because they had help by the Oil Industry and the US Congress, which successfully sued the state of California to take back the mandate.

It's hard to believe, that such a suit would have been possible in Europe, a suit by automakers & the federal government to stop a successful campaign against air polution and dependency on oil imports.

Unfortunately it was possible in the USA.

The famous British newspaper "The Independent" called this sad and crazy story : "The plot to kill the green machine !"
