"'Revenge' is that rare artifact, a snapshot of a major industry shift on its way to a tipping point... a slick, enjoyable valentine to a retooling industry."

DANIEL GOLD, NEW YORK TIMES (CRITICS' PICK)

"A entertaining roller coaster ride... well shot and sharply paced (with) genuine human drama. Wall Street might want to take notice of how quickly tides can change."

MINDY FARBEE, LOS ANGELES TIMES

In Revenge of the Electric Car, director Chris Paine takes us behind the closed doors of Nissan, GM, Tesla Motors, and the garage of an independent car converter to tell the story of four leaders behind the global comeback for the electric car. With almost every major carmaker now announcing plug-in models, Revenge of the Electric Car follows the race to be the first, the most exhilarating, and the fastest to break the world's addiction to fossil fuels. With gas prices predicted to hit $6.00 a gallon by this summer, a film like this has never been more timely or important. Did you know that WSDOT already has EV charging stations along the I-5 corridor? Immerse yourself in the very near future.

ALL EVENTS ARE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC & THERE IS NO CHARGE TO ATTEND!

EVERY EVENT WILL FEATURE A Q&A WITH ELECTRONIC VEHICLE OWNERS INCLUDING EXECUTIVES FROM PLUG IN AMERICAA LOCALLY BASED NATIONAL EV SUPPORT ORGANIZATION.

EVERY VENUE WILL FEATURE AN ELECTRONIC VEHICLE SHOW WHERE EV OWNERS WILL BE ON HAND TO ANSWER QUESTIONS AND SHOW OFF THEIR EVs and TALK ABOUT HOW THE VEHICLES MEET THEIR DAILY DRIVING NEEDS.
