Who Killed the EV1?

So I just saw some pieces of the movie Who Killed the EV1?, and I've never been more disillusioned by the automotive companies ever. We HAD the technology for a 120mi+ electric car in the 90s, and we let it slip through our fingers. Now look at how things are going...the truely sad thing is that it was b/c they couldn't make as much money selling them b/c they are a superior product. Less moving parts, less things to break, meaning less parts to sell. Its the same old shit all over again, make shit products that people throw away and buy new. So very very sad.
