    electric vehicles have fewer working parts that the average combustion fueled vehicle. The drive train is slimmed down, there is no exhaust system(including the high priced catalytic converter), no fuel or combustion engine parts at all. Those parts alone are a multi-billion dollar industry.

    Film is just as viable for usable information as are books. I agree though, just like any information, never rely on on source for information.

    The real truth of the matter is that the major vehicle manufacturers are in bed with the oil industry and they always have been. Big money = big corruption, its a fact of life. The human race in general is greedy. Money = power and power corrupts absolutely.

    Don't get me wrong, I believe in people, but not in humanity. Individuals can be great, but as always, if you get a large amount of people into a group, as in a corporation, then the groups attitude becomes the sum of all its parts.
