Smithsonian Shenanigans

The Smithsonian removed the EV1 from an electric car exhibit to make room for a "high tech SUV". The EV1 was the first GM electric car from the 90s. A movie Who Killed the Electric Car? is coming out in a few weeks and it seems GM is a big investor in the Smithsonian. Yeah that might be just conspiracy theory coincidence but the given explanation sounds like removing the Wright Brother's plane to make room for a 737.
