Pretty cool of this being done for Leaf owners. I have not heard of it being done for Volt owners even tho they are one of the "main characters".

Storyline
Revenge of the Electric Car presents the recent resurgence of electric vehicles as seen through the eyes of four pioneers of the EV revolution. Director Chris Paine (Who Killed the Electric Car? 2006) has had unprecedented access to the electric car research and development programs at General Motors, Nissan, and Tesla Motors, while also following a part time electric car converter who refuses to wait for the international car makers to create the electric cars the public demands. As more models of electric cars than ever before start to arrive in showrooms and driveways across the world, Chris Paine's film offers an inspiring, entertaining and definitive account of this revolutionary moment in human transportation. Revenge of the Electric Car follows these auto makers as they race each other to create the first, best, and most publicly accepted electric cars for the new car market.

Me too, I think, at least they asked which screening I wanted and I asked for the 19th. They took my address, so I'm expecting an invitation. I called at about 7:40 am today.

Thanks mwalsh for prompting me on this.

Yes, it's part of the events that Nissan is hosting around the time of National Plug In Day, I believe.

Kool, Kat, I'll look forward to seeing you there!

There is some confusion about where....it's didn't mention a location in the invitation. I know it's at TBWA\Chiat\Day because I've been in contact with Tim Gallagher over at Nissan. This will either be confirmed in further communication, or I'll get hold of Tim and reconfirm. So is there anyone else from the board other than myself, Kat, and Phil for the private viewing on the 19th? Maybe contact me by PM so we can set up a notification system.

There was a private screening last Thursday night. I think that might have been for select Volt owners.

Oh yes, I see that now on some Facebook post. It appeared the Nissan screening was going to included more regular owners but then I don't know you guys (ie. your selectiveness or however that would be put). Looking forward to the movie and hope a lot of non-EV folks watch it to help with the myths.

Agreed, I was surprised to see this. Nice, though brief coverage, but overall, a good positive review of the event. Of course, the haters are out in force in the comments section. They're best ignored, I think.

Yeah, I agree. I was going to post a response, but then thought f**k 'em.
