Interesting albeit very biased perspective on early electric

Interesting albeit very biased perspective on early electric car attempts. The film could have spent more time on describing the older electric car technology -- I was unaware that in the early 1900s there were, in fact, already cars that didn't run just on gasoline. I found it laughable when, near the end of the movie, the creators assess that essentially everyone, including car companies, oil companies, CARB, even consumers (!) are to blame for electric's downfall. I think you could convince me of car & oil companies, but it's a real stretch to say that a regulator that simply didn't adopt stricter guidelines 'killed' an industry, or that people did because they didn't buy this amazing product. Overall, OK, but would not recommend unless you're really into electric cars.

Amazing. >.>

This movie was amazingly done. Some people may find that the movie didn't go into enough details. As in when they said that the electric car went fast they dint say how fast, but if you watch the movie closely enough you will realise that they did answer that pretty well. They answered how fast it was by showing the electric car racing against other cars and it beat the other ones quite significantly.

It was really amazing how they didn't just choose one person to be at fault for getting rid of the electric car. They put everyone that could have had anything to do with getting rid of the car on trial and said which ones were at fault and went deeper into it.

Overall this movie was not a movie for some that doesn't care or believe in Global warming, or for people that are not very...intellectual. Its a movie for listening not watching.
