The electric car was invented in 1996. In the 20th century lots of cars were made but not that many electric cars were made. In 1989 104 and 15-20 year olds had lung disease because of the gas cars that's why they invented the electric car. The inventors of this unique solar powered car developed a electric car that was aimed to be better than a normal car. The electric cars were good for the environment and really easy to use. The electric car makers were proving gas car makers wrong. The car was quiet and fast. The good thing about it was at night you plug it in and it will charge overnight then take out the plug when you need to drive somewhere. But the bad thing is that you might forget to plug it in then you have to go somewhere and it isn't charged. GM stopped making cars on their assembly line. People took the electric car off the road.
The electric car got taken down because it could only be used by 90% of the population. The EV1's were going to be crushed and the people try stooping them getting crushed. They found electric trucks so they took them to get crushed. GM took all of the electric cars and stored them all behind a big building. People wanted to buy the EV1's off them but GM didn't respond. Consumers couldn't see the difference between the gas car and the electric car because most people look at the price and features when looking for a car. GM then bought the hummer which got a lot more response.
