Watching this movie now is enlightening given General Motor's recent decision to close its plants making SUVs and selling off the Hummer brand. The shutdown of the EV1 project now looks to be a huge lost opportunity for GM. Imagine the demand now if these cars were available all over the country. The movie gives evidence that GM placed all their bets on the short-term profits of the SUV/Hummer market over the long-term wisdom of the electric car. Let's just hope that the US auto industry can use the talents and creativity of their employees to produce non-gas burning alternative vehicles that could be sold all over the world.
