Movieguide
Leaving out important facts and arguments, and unfairly bashing one side (especially when both sides may share some blame), is a regrettable tendency among people with a left-wing, politically correct agenda.

Laying the blame at the feet of General Motors... apathetic politicians, and an unrepentant oil industry, Paine also gives voice to the car’s staunch defenders, Mel Gibson among them. He may have a clearly defined axe to grind but, in this war-ravaged and environmentally distressed day and age, Paine’s passion is worth attending to.

Rotten Tomatoes
Opening with a tongue-in-cheek funeral for the electric car, [Chris] Paine gives us lessons in the environment, history, politics, finance, and let's face it - stupidity, as we follow the demise of the EV-1.

IMDb
"Probably the most alarming thing about this story of how the electric car was literally destroyed is what it reveals about the power of corporations to control our lives."
