    Rundown of the electric car market but doesn't deliver anything new than what a casual observer of the trend doesn't already know. There is also a bitterness to the movie which feels like the personal opinion of the producer infecting the script. It may have scored higher but for the almost hatred shown for carlos the CEO of Nissan/Renault and for the suspiciously complete omission of the Toyota Prius. Not one mention. I am guessing since the film makers were not given access to Toyota and their EV developments that they would have their own 'Revenge' and not mention them. Childish and detracts from what film making should be about.… Expand

    Lacks the urgency of "Who Killed the Electric Car?" But Paine's thorough knowledge of his subject, and engaging way with an interview, make the follow-up film a fun ride.

    Feels more like a postscript than a probing, provocative documentary.

    I'd have preferred less personality stuff and more hard information about the current technical and commercial challenges, but if polishing these guys' egos is the only way to make them do the right thing, then so be it.
