Three years ago, a documentary came out called Who Killed the Electric Car that exposes the manipulations of the oil industry that buried the attainable dream of an efficient and clean running electric car for decades.
Now three years later it seems every major car manufacturer is making electric gas hybrids as a stepping stone to actually producing an electric car, so Chris Paine set out again to document this shift of mentality.
“Revenge of the Electric Car” is the new documentary from director Chris Paine (“Who Killed the Electric Car”) about the dramatic resurgence of the electric car around the world. From a backyard mechanic converting classic Porsches to deep behind closed doors at Silico…n Valley’s Tesla and two of the world’s biggest car makers, “Revenge of the Electric Car” tracks the electrifying race to challenge the age of gasoline.
I am really eager to see this doc. Who Killed was a great documentary that really makes you think about how much the Oil companies rely on people consuming their product, but how we let them keep us hostage at the same time.
