Thousands of new electric cars were destroyed in the course of the 1990s - apparently by the companies that produced the cars to begin with. Today, a decade later, the electric car is back. Faster and cleaner than ever before, and without using as much as a drop of foreign oil. In "Revenge of the Electric Car", the director Chris Paine invites us behind the closed doors of the great giants such as Nissan, General Motors and the newly established Silicon Valley company Tesla Motors. They quickly demonstrate that the electric car is not just revived - it is also claimed to be the rescue of the American car industry. Like a Formula 1 race for electric car manufacturers, the giants are engaged in a desperate fight to produce the first and best electric car, and to win the favour of the market. The race to produce the car of the future has started.
