Plot Summary
REVENGE OF THE ELECTRIC CAR presents the recent resurgence of electric vehicles as seen through the eyes of four pioneers of the EV revolution. Director Chris Paine (Who Killed the Electric Car?) has had unprecedented access to the electric car research and development programs at General Motors, Nissan, and Tesla Motors, while also following a part time electric car converter who refuses to wait for the international car makers to create the electric cars the public demands. As more models of electric cars than ever before start to arrive in showrooms and driveways across the world, Chris Paine's film offers an inspiring, entertaining and definitive account of this revolutionary moment in human transportation. REVENGE OF THE ELECTRIC CAR follows these auto makers as they race each other to create the first, best, and most publicly accepted electric cars for the new car market.

Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: In the end, "Revenge of the Electric Car" is a slick, enjoyable valentine to a retooling industry. This optimistic film lacks the outrage of the earlier work, but that's O.K. A movement needs its triumphs too.
Rotten: Without true tension, the docu feels as slickly manufactured as its va-va-voom subject.
Fresh: Wall Street might want to take notice of how quickly tides can change.
Fresh: This fascinating sequel provides a surprisingly upbeat prognosis on the transition to electric vehicles.
Customer Reviews
Actually Pretty Good!
Stefano Durdic shows what life is like with electric cars, it comes together very nicely and is a great film.!
Great!!!
Electric Cars are the wave of the future!!!
Ridiculously glossy and / yet entertaining.
This documentary has such serendipitous behind-the-scenes footage = and slick cinematography = that it almost seems like a fauxsposé or something.. but I'm a sucker for movies about cars.. and this one is pretty ferocious. Loved seeing the vulnerable side of Tesla's Elon Musk, the lovable granddad side of Bob Lutz, and the freaky fusion of Steve Jobs and Dominique Strauss-Kahn that Nissan's CEO, Carlos Ghosn brings you.
