Did you know that from 1996 to 2000, GM and Toyota both produced fully functional electric cars?
According to a new documentary, the GM EV1 was scrapped less than two months after GM purchased Hummer from AM Motors.
Also, the film makers report that Americans drive an average of 29 miles a day, which would mean you could drive several days without ever recharging.
The average battery charge would last 250 miles and stations popped up around California to recharge batteries quickly.
What happened? I want to see this movie.

One problem was that the automakers leased the cars to the owners, so according to the film, the automakers simply took back the cars at the end of the lease term and destroyed them.
