Revenge of the Electric Car

Films about electric cars seem to have come full circle. From 2006's documentary, Who Killed The Electric Car to this new one.

In 2006 major car companies destroyed thousands of electric cars that they had created, now they believe, it is time for the second coming. Director Chris Paine takes us behind the scenes of the companies that are in the race for the resurgence of the electric car.

Taking us behind the closed doors of major car manufacturers Nissan, GM, and Tesla Motors, as well as independent car converters, we follow the development from concept through to working vehicle, the financial problems, successes and failures to see who will launch the first and best electric car that will win over the public.
