“Who Killed the Electric Car” Showing at St. Luke

Friday, May 15th, 2009

 

The next Movie Salon will take place on Friday, May 29 at 7:00 pm in the West Room at St. Luke Presbyterian Church in Wayzata. All are welcome to view and discuss “Who Killed the Electric Car,” a 90-minute documentary about the electric vehicle crossed with a scathing expose of the oil and automotive industries.

The film traces the history of the electric car, from its inception at the turn of the 20th century to its demise at the turn of the 21st. The main focus is the cars’ surge in popularity in recent years with the 1990 Zero Emission Vehicle Mandate, and its abrupt disappearance when the California Air Resources Board modified the mandate, prompting car companies to recall and destroy all existing electric vehicles. Although there were waitlists for EV1s at the time of the recall, GM claimed that there was little demand, and EV1 drivers were prohibited from purchasing the vehicles, despite their best efforts.”

St. Luke is located at 3121 Groveland School Road in Wayzata.  For more information, contact the church at stluke@pclink.com or (952) 473-7378.
