Who killed the electric car

Hanging out at home, messing around with youtube, and I found this video trailer for the movie "Who Killed the Electric Car."

Who killed the electric car trailer. This was really neat to watch.

I wonder why there arent small electric cars that you can buy that will do the job for people who have to drive short distances. personally I drive about 3 miles at 45mph every day, twice. Seems like a little electric car would be really useful for me.
