The 2006 documentary Who Killed the Electric Car shows the determination of several California citizens whose willpower was to keep the electric car alive and running. The first existence of the electric car under General Motors (GM) dates back to 1996 when it launched the EV1 electric vehicle. And although several consumers have adopted this new form of transportation, a car powered by an electric motor in place of the base gasoline engine, GM has decided to take its latest technology and remove all existing EV1s from the roads. With several distraught consumers who were worried about both what GM and the government were doing and how they would get their cars back. Overall, the question that arises is why the electric car became such a superior good and then disappeared. The electric vehicle was destroyed during 2004 and 2005 because such a car was way ahead of its time and most consumers were not willing to “go green”. Today, the electric car has begun to be reborn due to global warming, and its efficiency is increasing. In other words, the electric car has been brought back to life, and many automakers are gaining interest. When General Motors produced the first electric car known as the EV1, it didn't fully have its effect on buyers in mind. While there were consumers at the time who were concerned about improving the environment around them, most of them were not. The idea of ​​an electric car seemed barbaric and without buyers the seller begins to fail. A consumer named Charles Murray (2007), author of the article I Killed the Electric Car, talks about his guilt as a consumer... at the center of the paper... aspects of society, while at the same time social forces do a lot to stimulate and shape these technologies” (p. 304). Therefore, society at large may be responsible for why the battery electric vehicle was destroyed and revived. In the beginning, the electric vehicle was very early and consumers were not on board, but today it is gaining more and more momentum due to the effects of global warming and the efficiency of an electric vehicle benefits the environment, the consumer and society as a whole Together.
