Welcome
In the 2006 film Who Killed the Electric Car? nearly 5,000 pure electric cars were collected and destroyed by GM, Ford, Toyota, Honda, Nissan, and many others despite the efforts of activists to save them. Five years later, electric cars are back… with a vengeance. Revenge of the Electric Car is the new documentary from director Chris Paine -- who took his film crew around the world to chronicle the resurgence of electric cars. From backyard mechanics converting Porsches to electrics, to the multi-million dollar Silicon Valley startup Tesla Motors, to deep behind closed doors at two of the world's biggest car makers; Revenge of the Electric Car tells the electrifying story of the race to bring EVs back from the dead -- just as the perils of the oil age are the deepest they've ever been.
Every week, we’ll be posting production stories, insider information, and late breaking news from the world of plug-in vehicles. We’ll be covering stories from around the world — from the auto giants to the converters to indie start-ups. Once again there is incredible momentum and talent around the renaissance with electric cars, plug-in hybrids, and electric transportation in general. The world is changing!
