Official Trailer: Revenge of the Electric Car

**Use the CC button for subtitles in multiple languages**
Revenge of the Electric Car opens in theaters on 10/21: http://www.revengeoftheelectriccar.co...

In 2006, as many as 5,000 modern electric cars were destroyed by the major car companies that built them. Today, less than 5 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, and the Silicon Valley start-up Tesla Motors to find the story of the global resurgence of electric cars. Without using a single drop of foreign oil, this new generation of car is America's future: fast, furious, and cleaner than ever.

With almost every major car maker now jumping to produce new electric models, Revenge follows the race to be the first, the best, and to win the hearts and minds of the public around the world. It's not just the next generation of green cars that's on the line. It's the future of the automobile itself.

A petrol car wouldn't endure an EMP blast anyway because the ignition system is electronically controlled.

Taking the dependency of oil based fuels away from cars, means that as energy becomes cleaner / greener, the cars are also cleaner / greener. It's estimated that hooking your car up to the power grid costs up to 4x less and possibly similar in CO2 emissions.

because you lack the brainpower to understand them!

Totally wrong, market forces are in fact natural as they are organic. When markets are free of gov't interference [only legit role for gov't is dispute settlement, contract enforcement, and punishing those who defraud or use force to achieve their ends] order comes forth spontaneously. Think about this: How does Los Angeles get fed each day? It's through, literally millions of interactions and transactions - most of which occur w/out any gov't directives or orders. You only criticize markets

an EMP attack would kill any car with a computer (pretty much ever car from the 80s up) , as well as your pc, tablet, tv, microwave oven, digital watch, cell phone, ect ect ect......

markets are decoupled from the natural laws of our world. All that is determined in markets is PRICE, that is it... So sure, lets have MARKETS determine everything for us, so in 50 years, we will all be living in a overflooded bowl of hot soup thanks to us trusting in "markets"....

Lithium ion batteries can be recycled.

It is not the sales of the cars >100 last year but the sale of carbon credits for driving an electric car that is making the tesla show a profit.

Lol! You cannot possibly be this dumb.

This is the first result from Googling "Tesla announces layoffs". Lol!

Tesla's profit comes from better than expected sales.

This is what sucks for oil&gas: EVs use a 1/3 of the energy to move around. They're lowing hanging fruit for efficiency, like CFLs or LEDs, but times a millions--millions of barrels of oil a day.

Sure, it's replaced by methane at the power plant, but 1/3 as much! And, finally, most of the charging is at night, when much of the baseload power is totally wasted anyway. Oil&gas are going to lose most passenger petrol sales, and replace it with less than 1/5 the number of BTUs in methane! DIE!!!
