Who Killed the Electric Car? chronicles the life and mysterious death of the GM EV1, examining its cultural and economic ripple effects and how they reverberated through the halls of government and big business. 

At its inception, the electric car threatened the status quo. The truth behind its demise resembles the climactic outcome of Agatha Christie’s Murder on the Orient Express: multiple suspects, each taking their turn with the knife. Who Killed the Electric Car? is not just about the EV1. It is about how this allegory for failure – reflected in today’s oil prices and air quality – can also be a shining symbol of society’s potential to better itself and the world around it.

Electric Transportation of Arkansas (ETA) will be available to discuss the innovation and technology behind the electric and solar vehicles of today. ETA will also display vehicles for participants to view up close.
