SMITHSONIAN GETS RID OF ELECTRIC CAR TO MAKE WAY FOR SUV

AP - Just weeks before the release of a movie about the death of the electric car from the 1990s, the Smithsonian Institution has removed its EV1 electric sedan from display. The upcoming film "Who Killed the Electric Car?" questions why General Motors created the battery-powered vehicles and then crushed the program a few years later. GM happens to be one of the Smithsonian's biggest contributors. A museum spokeswoman says the museum simply needed the space to display another vehicle, a high-tech SUV.

The film explores the roles of automobile manufacturers, the oil industry, the US government, batteries, hydrogen vehicles, and consumers in limiting the development and adoption of this technology.
