Video reflection: Who killed the electric car?
When i was in teenage, I heard a discussion bewteen my parents of whether they are going to buy an electronical car or not.Mum refused to buy it because: "it is a new technology and you will not know if it is dependable" .From that period of time, I just insist to believe that it was the first time that electronical cars were faced to the public.But obviously it is not the truth which we heard from the video.
More, It is really impressive that electrical car exsisted in the different period of times.On the one side, It must have enough reasons of why the electronic car is been designed.Otherwise,there were no market and designers were not even think about to design it.To some extent, It indicates the significance of the electric car itself,.On the other side,the death of electronic car would happened by reasons.If we could not find theses certain reasons out of which caused the failure.Then,It will not be successful even we design a new electronic car again.
After watching this documentory,I keep thinking about "who killed the electric car".YES,the car company,oil company,consumer,government etc might be guilty,Car company care more about what they earned rather than shoulder the responsiblity of making a better environment.Oil companys are afraid of the development of the electric car for taking off their market share away.Instead of doing nothing,they decided to kill this protencial competitor.
But how about the reason why they do it?
Firstly, It is the profit of which everyone expect to gain after buying,selling,or using the product(the electric car).For electric car,it is a kind of big challenge compared with petrol cars.Because for designing an electric car, you need to design a totally new supporting system to it such as the recharge station in the public and how cars can fixed when it is brocken.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.Nowadays,the whole society relys on the nature-resources so much.All most every family have their own cars.Of course, the car need petrol to be operated.Furthermore,we become more vulnerable facing to these nature-resources providers.Taking this electronic car as an example.The electric broke this kind of game rule.Even a lots of people support,the rules would not be changed by this single product.So I am thinking if every designer get involved about this kind of environment-friendly design,Then in the end,We will not need this kind of rules anymore.Further,It might encourage people to do design more sustainable products.
