Electric vehicle enthusiasts begin a “Don’t Crush” vigil to stop G.M. from demolishing 78 impounded EV1s in Burbank, California, US. The vigil ended twenty-eight days later when G.M. removed the cars from the facility. In the film “Who Killed the Electric Car” G.M. spokesman Dave Barthmuss stated that the EV1s are to be recycled, not just crushed.
