Turns out big oil was in on getting GM to walk away from the electric car which could of been a success in the 80s and 90s. You should look up the documentary called "who killed the electric car"

it was the late 90s, when gas was a dollar a gallon at the pump, the ford expedition was king, & nobody bought them except california tree huggers. they had their chance in the market. & fizzled.
as far as a conspiracy by big oil to take it out, its plausible, but unlikely, cause there were so few of them relative to gas cars. what would an oil exec worry about? maybe GM simply did not want to support parts for such a project as it would be expensive. that would be more plausible than big-oil-made-them-do-it. LOL.
the fact you bring up propaganda crap as evidence of anything shows how much effort you make to inform yourself.
