Who Killed the Electric Car? Movie Review a 2006 film starring Phyllis Diller, Colette Divine and directed by Chris Paine. Though this documentary is filled with interesting facts and utterly charming people, GM’s little EV1 stole the show. An adorable piece of art and functionality, the EV1 came and went without my notice. Yet how I now miss it! Oddly, it was killed by its own parent company - as tragic a plot as any Shakespearean play.

Who Killed the Electric Car? is done as a mystery, with multiple suspects. The soundtrack at times is absolutely brilliant, and the film, whose subject matter could be quite distressing, is done in a manner both fair, hopeful and, at times, humorous. I really liked it. It captured not just my interest, but my heart.

Some people hope to spot Elvis at the local 7-11. I hope to spot an EV1.
