Synopsis
California's roads saw a surge of electric cars in 1996, offering a quiet, fast alternative to gasoline vehicles. These cars, celebrated for their lack of exhaust emissions, gained popularity among environmentally conscious drivers. However, by 2006, many of these vehicles were destroyed, raising questions about the automobile industry's commitment to sustainable energy. The film investigates the events surrounding this decline, focusing on the roles of major automotive companies and government policies in the fate of electric vehicles.
What Critics Say
