“A new documentary blames General Motors and the auto industry for the demise of the electric car, but the Competitive Enterprise Institute believes that the historical evidence clearly shows that it was American consumers who ‘killed’ the technology. ‘The California law requiring that automakers sell a certain percentage of zero emissions vehicles failed because consumers weren’t interested in them,’ said Myron Ebell, director of energy policy at CEI. ‘General Motors made a good faith effort to comply with the California law. They invested and lost over a billion dollars in developing their state-of-the-art EV1 electric vehicle.’” (06/30/06)
