Why did GM kill its electric car?

Answer
According to the article GM simply could not make any money on it. This was a specialty car that only the rich could afford, the technology was too new and of doubtful value (you are simply shifting the source of pollution from the gasoline engine to an electric generating plant). It was a political ploy, an experimental attempt to find a way to comply with California's zero percent pollution requirements, and that experiment failed.

You cannot manfacture a car that only a few can afford it if it nothing in essence than a plain old car(high-end luxury cars are a different category); you can get the same results for far less. To try to do so violates Henry Ford's maxim of building a car every family could afford.

Answer
Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A., commonly referred to as Lamborghini, is an Italian manufacturer of sports cars, based in the small Italian village of Sant'Agata Bolognese, near Bologna. The company was founded in 1962 by businessman Ferruccio Lamborghini, who owned a successful tractor factory, Lamborghini Trattori S.p.A..

Lamborghini is now a subsidiary of the German luxury car manufacturer, Audi AG, which is in turn a subsidiary of Volkswagen Group (Volkswagen Aktiengesellschaft) (VWAG).
