Review: Who killed the electric car?

WALT: Describe how advancements in technology occur to meet the need or to solve a problem.

What problems does the electric car solve?

It solves having to go to the gas station because you just have to charge it at home in the garage. If everyone used the electric car not normal cars that we use everyday that take oil/gas, there wouldnt be as much oil spills, fumes. etc.

Who will benefit from the electric car?

I think everyone would benefit from the electric car because its easy and quick to charge and its much easier to charge it than to go to the gas station all the time.

What problems are caused by the electric car?

The battery doesn't last very long so you couldn't use it for long trips.Its quite expensive so most middle class people cant afford it.

Who killed the electric car is a very informative Documentary with lots of good facts and opinions.

This non-fiction movie is all about the electric car. Who made it, and why G.M (General Motors) took it off the roads and crushed to peaces.

The movie stated that some people didn't find the idea of an electric car appealing at all but others found the idea AMAZING.

Something I found quite weird and confusing was that when the movie started it was at the electric cars funeral and when the movie ended it was at the electric cars funeral. I was also confused on WHY they were having a funeral for the electric car with flowers and everything that normal funerals have.

I found the movie quite boring. Some parts were interesting and had good facts but over all, I was yawning by the time it was finished and I don't think I was the only one.

I would rate this movie 2/5 because it had good facts but was very boring. I would recommend this movie to an older audience.
