Revenge of the Electric Car (PG)
19 August 2012
Cinema
When electric
cars first appeared on the market in the 1990s, mass production and
commercialisation were abruptly – and dubiously – shut down, a story
told in Chris Paine’s first documentary Who Killed The Electric Car?
Just a few short years later, the race is back on to develop an
affordable, stylish electric car and win over a skeptical public.
Revenge of the Electric Car goes behind the closed doors of Nissan, GM,
the innovative California start-up Tesla Motors and an independent car
converter named Greg “Gadget” Abbott to tell the story of the global
resurgence of electric cars. This new generation of automobile emerges
as the future: fast, furious and cleaner than ever. The new technology
offers America the opportunity to end dependency on foreign oil and take
responsibility for cleaning up the environment.
