The Electric Revolution documentary goes back to the very first electric car and charts up and down the 110 year history. The film features vintage electric car collectors, EV designers and EV evangelists. Including Tesla Motors.

The film examines the failings of early EVs, the false dawn resulting from the energy crisis of the 70s and the controversial crushing of the GM EV1. Lastly, as mainstream manufacturers such as Renault invest billions in new EVs and governments invest in charging infrastructure, the film examines why it will be different this time.
