Director Chris Paine unveiled his fascinating documentary Who Killed The Electric Car? at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival, and now he is back with his follow-up. While the original was about the secret destruction of battery-powered cars, this is about the recent resurgence. He vowed to release the first trailer when his Facebook page reached 10,000 fans and last night that goal was hit. See the trailer below.

Synopsis: “Revenge of the Electric Car” is the new documentary from director Chris Paine (“Who Killed the Electric Car”) about the dramatic resurgence of the electric car around the world.

Revenge of the Electric Car will see a release in 2011.
