awesome.. saw this on tv a little while back.. very interesting - Tim Hoeck

If you're addicted to documentaries and like getting mad, Netflix "The Corporation". Saw it a few years back and it had me steaming. >_< - thepete

That was a really good movie - maxim shevertalov via twhirl

Jason Calacanis is buying or now owns a Tessla. The guy from Mahalo - Harry Myhre

Added to the Blockbuster queue. - xero

I remember seeing an EV-1 in someones drive way. They drove it every day!! - Eric_T

Saw it, good documentary. What's even more interesting is that cars like the Tesla and Volt are on their way... - Andru Edwards

Leo, you owe it to yourself to talk to Bob Lutz from GM about this... http://chris.pirillo.com/?s=el... & http://chris.pirillo.com/2008/... specifically. - l0ckergn0me

I'm buying a Tesla Sedan just to beat Chris Pirillo. He always gets cool stuff before me. :-) - Robert Scoble

Growing up in Michigan, we saw a couple of these on the roads. Our neighbor who worked for GM had one. It was so quiet! - Betsy Weber

This was a great documentary and made me sad about how far back this set the development of the electric car in the US. The industry could have had a US contender, but now it's up to the Japanese to decide our fate. - Phil Glockner

I sort of have my eye towards http://greenvehicles.com/ - John Flinchbaugh

they need to re-elease this with a new title - "who THOUGHT they killed the electric car" :) - Simon

Great movie, and I'm still pissed I can't buy an EV-1. - Brandice

Great documentary, watched a few years ago. Almost shed a tear when they showed the footage of the last few cars being crushed. - Phil Glockner

Oh, please. The laws of physics and electrochem killed the electric car. The EV-1 died because its market niche was too small. An EV would do fine for 90% of my driving, but what am I supposed to do for the other 10%? Just say "I won't do that any more"? - Jamie Hanrahan

this movie makes me sooooo upset! - claudio rivera

Tesla just announced their new sedan will be made in SF and available in 2010 for $60,000. Can't wait to buy one! - Leo Laporte

At $60,000 for a sedan, I guess there is still money in radio. - Ryan Cates

i wouldn't mind an electric car.. damn Detroit. - Adam C.

CARB killed the electrical car. But hell, we can also say it was GM, they paid CARB off O_o - Michael Forian

In realaity, is was most likely the EV-1 that killed the electric car the same way the Edsel killed inovation in the auto industry. Once bitten, twice shy. - Robert Hafer via twhirl

http://www.theaircar.com x The Air Cars Compressed air is an energy vector that can be used, in a viable way, to transport both people and goods. The main goal of Air Car Factories is to develop and manufacture a vehicle driven by a compressed air engine with a level of performance that will respond to the actual needs of todays market. With this aim we have drawn up a full agenda and an R&D plan of action for production start up. - alexandrek

Sorry but a compressed air tank has even less energy density than a lead-acid battery. See the "energy density comparisons" table at www.tinaja.com/glib/energfun.pdf - Jamie Hanrahan

Tesla is the way to go. The Menlo Park showroom is opening in late July. - Darrell Holmquist

Just got this one too. I was prompted to move it to the top of my queue by the Tesla announcement the other day. - Martin Gordon
