For those of you still mourning the supposed premature demise announced by Who Killed the Electric Car?, fear not, electric cars shall have their day!  From the inquisitive minds that brought you the first film, comes the sequel: Revenge of the Electric Car.  Powerful forces, which couldn’t make a buck from a vehicle that didn’t require gas, sought to quell the growing popularity of electric cars, but rising gas prices, a flailing auto industry, and ever-improving technology have hopefully set the stage for a triumphant return.  Still have doubts?  They haven’t released a trailer yet, so watch this electric Datsun crush a Corvette in a drag race:

I’m anxious for a more optimistic conclusion than the first film, and hopeful that Son of the Electric Car won’t be a neccesary follow-up.
