And if you're thinking it never left, then that means you haven't seen the cult-hit car documentary flick "Who Killed the Electric Car?" that first debuted at the Sundance Film Festival in June 2006. The original film dealt with the oil industry, the US government, automobile manufacturers, hydrogen and battery vehicles and, of course, the consumers.



Well, director Chris Paine is back, and so is the electric car with his follow-up documentary "Revenge of the Electric Car". Like the first instalment, Paine focuses on the auto industry and their efforts (or lack thereof) to bring the electric car to the forefront of the car world.

Because this documentary will not be showing in every city across the nation, you'll want to take note that on July 12, Nissan and the mayor of NYC have teamed up to bring "Revenge of the Electric Car" to the general public for free in Central Park. You'll also have the chance to check out the latest electric vehicles on display before the film begins at 8:30 p.m. EST.
