Movie Night: Who Killed the Electric Car?

Movie Night: Who Killed the Electric Car?


April 10, 2026

Our April movie will be the 2006 documentary Who Killed the Electric Car? The film was written and directed by filmmaker/environmental activist Chris Paine. After a strict anti-pollution law was passed in California in 1990, American auto companies were compelled to offer an all-electric car in order to keep doing business in our country's largest state market. This led to a new generation of electric cars from automakers that really weren't interested in selling them. The film particularly focuses on the example of the "EV1" from General Motors, which GM consistently self-sabotaged.

Discussion will follow the film.

As always, our events are free and open to the public. The Black Cat House welcomes all ages, and is a drug and alcohol-free venue. To help keep everyone safe and healthy, we ask that all guests wear face masks in our space. We are wheelchair accessible.
