So...who killed the electric car? ![]() |

I did. |

The Stonecutters did (see The Simpsons episode 2F09 "Homer the Great); "Who holds back the electric car? Who makes Steve Guttenberg a star? We do! We do." (from the Stonecutter's anthem) |

More specifically, Homer killed the electric car (/vehicle_43041-GM-EV1.html), although I suppose that counts as some kind of weird premonition. |

a really weird premonition... |

There is a yellow DeLorean in this movie, in the scene where they are visiting the red EV-1 that is in the auto museum. You can clearly see the rear of the car, it is in the adjoining row right next to and behind the EV-1. I know it is a Delorean, because I own one and could spot one a mile away! This would be rated as a one-star appearance. Thanks. |

A DeLorean is a little visible on the picture of that yellow car: /vehicle_65742-.html But the DeLorean is not yellow itself ![]() |

I am pretty sure it is yellow, but I could be wrong? |

I think we killed electric vehicles due to $$$$ on oil! ![]() |

GM and the oil companies along with our government |

the film says everyone killed the electric car; the public didn't demand them, the manufacturers didn't support them, and the government didn't care about them. |

Electric cars are just plain useless, simple as that. I don't want a car that has limited range and takes a whole day to charge it up. -- Last edit: 2010-10-19 19:17:32 |

I'm confused why your mad? Would you rather have a limited range Tesla Roadster or a Hummer H2 SUT? |
◊ 2011-04-25 14:12 |
Don't forget the H2 also has quite a limited range ![]() |
◊ 2011-04-25 14:13 |
I'd rather have a hybrid (Insight or Prius) than either of them. The Hummer - Massive, slow, scary fuel prices, horribly unpractical, makes you look ridiculous IMHO. ![]() The Tesla - Even more unpractical than the Hummer. And for a sports car, not that fast. ![]() |

That too, I wonder what could go the farthest with the same amount of fuel (or electricity)? ![]() |
