They declared them dead, but they're alive -- alive!
Watch The Revenge of the Electric Car and see real electric cars and other alternative fuel vehicle demos.
In 2006, as many as 5,000 modern electric cars were destroyed by the major car companies that built them.
Today, less than five years later, the electric car is back ... with a vengeance. In Revenge of the Electric Car, director Chris Paine takes his film crew behind the closed doors of Nissan, GM, the Silicon Valley start-up Tesla Motors, and an independent car converter named Greg "Gadget" Abbott to find the story of the global resurgence of electric cars. Without using a single drop of foreign oil, this new generation of automobiles is America's future: fast, furious, and cleaner than ever.
