To be perfectly honest, it's a blame session. The basic idea is about how GM and other makers removed their EV's from production in the early 90's, though there are points where it is somewhat educational.
The doc explains in light detail the protests that went on over the EV1's lease endings, the waiting lists that were signed to "resurrect" it, etc... also about the CAFE standards that hadn't (until recently) been raised since like 1988 or so by any notable amount.
There was a semi-interesting piece about how CARB was sued by automakers to remove their restrictions that would have required all car makers to introduce zero emissions (tail pipe emissions) vehicles in order to keep selling cars in Cali. Of course, there are differing opinions and speculations on this, as well.
I should probably call it more of an expose than a doc, but I guess that's what the director/filmmaker called it.
