I wasn't very impressed. Not only did he advocated all of the strengths of the electric cars without bringing up any of their weaknesses, but he also neglected the burgeoning market of independent retailers of electric vehicles.
IMO, what killed the electric car was its limited range and lack of good options for quick recharging. Most people only use a car daily within the range of current electric vehicles, but relatively few people are going to buy a car that they can't make that 500 mile summer road trip with.

Perhaps you would benefit from seeing the movie before declaring what you think killed the electric car? It may actually effect your opinion.

If Paine cherry-picks and glosses over the problems with electric vehicles in appearances designed to get people to see his movie, I have good reason to suspect that he does the same in his movie. As a fan of alternative power since I was a grade school student in the seventies, I'm pretty up to date on trends in electric vehicles.
