Normally, I am not a big fan of conspiracy theories. I came across a documentary about one car, the electrical EV-1 of General Motors, that pulled me over to the conspiracy perspective. General Motors marketed the car in the mid 90s because Califonia’s law prescribed that 10% of its cars should be environmental friendly. The car was doing quite well after it was launched.

The lobbying machine of the car and oil companies swiftly killed the Californian law and all brand new produced cars were retracted and crushed to pieces. The oil industry has no love for electrical cars but pushes for hydrogen powered cars. They simply see a better business case for that and in the mean time they will do their utmost to sabotage any electrical powered car innovation.
