Video review- Who kill the electric car

At beginning the electric car is popular among people, however it is being replace quickly by the gas and petrol car, because the cheap fuel and mass production. beside the efficient and fast, the petrol car brings the pollution, such as smog in LA, children can not play outside.
In a sustainable development view, the electric car need to be development, because it is enviromrny-friendly , it use solar energy.and dosen't emit carbon-dioxide.
In 21century, designer not only design product for function, but also for sustainable, if is not, that will soon being replace.

When more people start to concern about we have damage the earth and start to take actions in help making up these issues, some business man would do the opposite just to prevent their own business from falling.so when the electric car was brought in to solve the issue of fuel assumption, the large amount of fossil fuel being used. As such product if gets popular, there would be a big change in the economy and the profits of government and oil industries. Therefore these oil industry companies try their best to eliminate possibilities of causing a fall in profit and in this case the drop of fuel assumption will cause a big reduction in their profit. In that way maybe those company can make money in a time duration, but  finally it will suffer human themselves.

 

The video told us when design a product, designer need to take the society in to cosideration because the product they design will be used by large amount of people, if it damge to the environment, that is not a small issue.
