"Who Killed the Electric Car"- Video Reflection

From the video, we are being told that electric cars have been existed for a long time., however in fact people nowadays still have the mindset that electric cars are actually a new technology which is not dependable yet in terms of quality in comparison to fuel energy cars. 


It's an really eye opening video as it shows that electric cars existed in different period of times and i am sure it must have enough reason of why they design electronic cars or otherwise there is no point for designers to design it as there will be no markets who will purchase the product, To some extent, it indicates us the significance of the electric car itself. 


After watching this video, i am convinced that human nowadays care more about the money they can earn rather than the world they live in. They don't care whether what they are doing will affect the next generations who will live in this earth, This can be shown from the answer to the question of, "Who killed the electric car?" and Yes, the fuel energy car company, the oil company, the consumers who purchase it as well as government. Why? because it's so clear that they are afraid that the development of electric cars would take off their market share and instead they decided to kill this potential competitors. 


Though electric cars are a really innovations, the development of electric cars is still a kind of big challenge in comparison to petrol cars. Because as we produce this product we have to also think about the supporting system that allow the car to function properly such as the public recharge station and the place where the cars can be fixed when it is broken. I think that the car company they might have less preparation about how this product cycle works and what the problem they might have.

Secondly,it is the energy-based society. As we can see, nowadays the whole society rely so much on the nature resources. Almost every family have their own cars and off course the car needs petrol to be operated. Furthermore,we are becoming more vulnerable in facing these nature resources providers.Taking this electronic car as an example.The electric broke this kind of game rule.Even when a lot of people support it,the rules would not be changed by this single product. So if every designer get involved about this kind of environment-friendly design then we will not need this kind of rules anymore.Furthermore,It might encourage people to do design more sustainable products.
