Smithsonian removes electric-car exhibit

I'm feeling a little 'unrefreshed' this morning, but couldn't less this pass without note:

Smithsonian removes electric-car exhibit
Just weeks before the release of a movie about the death of the electric car from the 1990s, the Smithsonian Institution has removed its EV1 electric sedan from display.... The upcoming film “Who Killed the Electric Car?” questions why General Motors created the battery-powered vehicles and then crushed the program a few years later. The film opens June 30th.

GM happens to be one of the Smithsonian's biggest contributors. But museum and GM officials say that had nothing to do with the removal of the EV1 from display.

One wonders.
