The Electric Car Revolution

This documentary shows the evolution of the electric car from the very beginnings until the first mass productions pioneered by Mitsubishi, Renault and Nissan. If not yet the revolutionary solution, still is far better than burning the limited resources of fossil fuels to move our vehicles (with an efficiency lower than 30%). Nevertheless, one big question arises: where will we get from the enormous amount of electrical power needed to charge the batteries in case of mass utilization of this kind of vehicles? If the energy source still is burning fossil fuels, then the results (in terms of overall efficiency and CO2 emissions) might even be worse than using the old internal combustion engine...
