BBC Hypes GM's Hydrogen Car, Overlooking GM's History with the Electric Car
I am deeply suspicious of GM's interest in hydrogen. Before we get excited about hydrogen vehicles from GM, we need to hear from GM about why the EV1 was eliminated from GM's line.
Who Killed the Electric Car? (2006) is a disturbing documentary about how GM gamed the system 10 years ago (including hyping the potential of hydrogen fuel and spreading disinformation about electric cars) to fight energy-efficiency mandates in California. A large part of Who Killed the Electric Car? (2006) is an expose of GM's efforts to undermine the demand for electric cars, and then to take back every EV1 and dispose of them.
