Bozeman Film Festival | Who Killed the Electric Car?

The Bozeman Film Festival is featuring Who Killed The Electric Car? tomorrow night at their monthly film viewing. The film will be taking place at the Emerson in Downtown Bozeman at 7:00pm. Here is a bit about this film from their website.. In the 1990's, American automotive giant, General Motors, offered the highly efficient, all-electric EV-1 coupe as lease vehicles through its Saturn dealerships. The cars created a loyal following of customers who, at lease's end, were shocked to discover that GM would not allow anyone to purchase the car. Instead, customers were forced to return the vehicles, and GM then destroyed all EV-1s. Was it that consumers just were not interested in an all-electric car even though it was super-efficient? Was it that Big Oil companies felt threatened by the loss of revenue should electric cars become popular? Did the government kill the electric car under pressure from Detroit auto and Exxon-Mobil lobbyists? These and more questions are raised and answered in this compelling documentary that has sparked heated debate among all who see it. Featuring Martin Sheen, Ed Begley, Jr., Ralph Nader, and Alexandra Paul. I have been looking forward to this film for the past few weeks. I am excited to hear about this industry and what the panal has to say after the viewing. This is an area that I really no nothing about. We have an electric car dealer (they also sell SmartCar) - EcoAuto - that will be there to show us a car and tell us all about it. Check out their website for cool information about all of their cars and scooters. They have an inventory list, pictures, and news from the industry. Maybe someone should make one that would pull our Cafe Evoke trailer. So far, I am not able to even think about driving a smart car or any other brand as I must have a car that can pull our trailer through the mountains. Any suggestions? I guess I could try to find something with FlexFuel but then I am stuck because Montana does not have any FlexFuel gas stations (that I know of yet). Come out and see the film if you are in Bozeman or rent it today! ...be bold Tagged: cafe evoke, coffee catering, coffee, espresso, tea, bozeman, montana, bozemanfilmfestival, electric cars, who killed the electric car The Global Exchange Fair Trade Store is your Online Source for Socially Conscious Gifts
