Documentary filmmaker, Chris Paine, has followed up his biting 2006 documentary Who Killed the Electric Car? with a sequel, aptly titled Revenge of the Electric Car.

The sequel takes a behind-the-scenes look at the race to develop the next generation of electric vehicles.

His controversial first film on the subject focused on GM's 1996 EV1 electric vehicle - 1117 of the landmark cars were produced - and the conspiracy theories surrounding the project's cancellation in 1999.  

Six years later, electric vehicles are in vogue. Many carmakers - including Mitsubishi, Nissan, Renault, GM and Tesla - have an EV on the market, and more still are readying their own production EVs.

Invited by the likes of GM, Nissan and Tesla Motors to go behind-the-scenes on their high-profile electric vehicle projects, the new film, narrated by actor Tim Robbins, includes interviews with Renault and Nissan president Carlos Ghosn, Tesla Motors CEO Elon Musk, former GM vice chairman Bob Lutz, and EV 'do it yourselfer' Greg Abbott.

If you're considering Nissan's new Leaf, Tesla's Roadster, or Mitsubishi's i MiEV, or keeping an eye on the upcoming Renault Fluence Z.E., Holden Volt, and Tesla Model S, Revenge of the Electric Car will be one to watch.

Watch for TMR's review of Revenge of the Electric Car next month.
