Meet the creative team behind “Who Killed the Electric Car?” at Vidiots on Friday, Nov. 17.

The free meet-and-greet includes director Chris Paine, editors, producers, EV activists and on-screen personalities. Also, check out electric cars provided by Plug-In America.

The GM EV1 was among the fastest, most efficient production cars ever built. It ran on electricity, produced no emission and catapulted American technology to the forefront of the automotive industry. The lucky few who drove it never wanted to give it up. So why did General Motors crush its fleet of EV1 electric vehicles in the Arizona desert?

“Who Killed the Electric Car?” chronicles the life and mysterious death of the GM EV1, examining its cultural and economic ripple effects.

Vidiots is located at 302 Pico Blvd. For information, call (310) 392-8508\. On a mission for God
