FilmReview80 As a Hybrid owner for several years, I have always been interested in electric cars, but did not know much about them since all of the electric cars that were leased by GM years ago were re-claimed. This brand new film answered almost every question I had, or could even think of about the exciting new electric car offerings now coming out. While there are certain drawbacks to electric cars (I would not want to drive one across the country), the film convinced me that this is a great car for the future. Many of the myths (about battery life, range, electric car pricing, etc.) were brought up by a father & daughter in an interesting conversation. This film also takes the audience back 100 years or so ago with a brief history of the very first electric cars followed by segments of questions and decade long misconceptions being answered in a very entertaining, yet extremely fact oriented manner. Although I had seen the 2006 documentary "Who Killed the Electric Car?" that showed the crushing of hundreds of GM's EV1s, this new film shows great promise for the new GM VOLT, Nissan Leaf, Ford Focus Electric, and many other new electric offerings which will clearly be part of our future. I would recommend this film to anyone looking for a new car in the future.

face-956-776445 After seeing the trailer I wasn't expecting much, but I got tickets to the Hollywood premier and I was pleasantly surprised. The use of the attractive young woman writing a term paper worked as a vehicle for presenting information about electric cars and trucks. They have put together a good set of interviews and footage of electric vehicles in normal and extreme exhibitions of their abilities. They show you the electric vehicles from some drop dead gorgeous electric cars to vehicles that shout to the world "I am a tree hugger, look at how green I am!". They got footage from a lot of the players in electric vehicles from the head of Pluggin America group to a world record holding drag racer of electric vehicles. The pace of the movie follows that of the father figure being convinced of electric vehicles as the movie progresses. Many of the questions about electric vehicle get asked and responded to and most of the audience leaves with a very positive, pro-electric vehicle perspective. In fairness the group of people going to the premier were already pretty predisposed to this perspective.
