'In the four years since filmmaker Chris Paine released the documentary Who Killed the Electric Car?, electric vehicles have been revived. In that film, Paine documented the corporate leaders, government officials and consumers who embraced SUVs over electric cars, exploring the larger story of our car culture in the process. Paine is back with a new film in the works: The Revenge of the Electric Car, set for release in 2011. As part of Planet Indy series, the Indianapolis Museum of Art hosted a special event with Paine and showed Who Killed the Electric Car? with a talk by Paine discussing the latest progress on electric vehicles, the relationship between good design and sustainability, and new ways of thinking about mobility. After the program, the audience could see an electric car up close and get information about companies making electric vehicles in Indiana. Here\'s how we got that car inside the museum.'
