Read More This is a very thought provoking film and will have wondering who is really in the pokets of the "Oil Industry". I found it interesting the car companies tried to say there was no consumer interest in electric vehicles, when their waiting lists were getting larger and larger. This film shows you both sides of the story and the evntual demise of an excellent automobile. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

I remember the hype for the car and even remember seeing one. I thought it was too much money for just 60 miles on a charge. Then again I was not feed-up with the way we are so dependent on gas and the problems it makes for us. We just bought a PRIUS and would think about changing it to the plug-in kind if we could afford it.
ANYTHING TO REDUCE OUR DEPENDENCY ON GASOLINE! Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

I didn't know the Califonia Mandate had went away. I was still waiting to see more Hybrids and Electrics coming.
This provides insight on the subject that I think just about anyone can relate to. It is an important side of the story that you would never see unless you watch this film. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

Read More I was blown away by this movie - truly wonderful!! I was so disappointed and saddened to be reminded that political nonsense and corporate villainy are forever the disease upon our universe. I loved that this movie ended with an optimistic note and I feel positive that I can be a part of this change. i will be on the market for a new car in a few months and I am certainly ready to go green. Thank you, Chris for making this movie! I will be telling everyone I know to see it..... Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

Not much information given beyond the obvious. Interesting to see them pull the plug on the electric car...excuse the pun. But the movie glazed over the fact that people were in fact VERY reluctant to sign on the dotted line when it came to spending more money on the electric car. It should have concentrated a little more on why the technology was so expensive. It also could have focused on other countries. Which it did not, because other countries aren't switching over to electric energy either. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No |
