Running on Lithium. A New Way to Travel

Description

This film introduces electric car pioneer John Wayland. "Once you've had a taste of electric power you never want to go back," he says; "it's nice to know that we are going down the road free from dependence on foreign oil." He adds proudly: "We run on American-generated electrons." His garage full of sleek lithium-powered electric cars is a far cry from the boxy electric cars of the 1980s. For John, the electric car is not only a thrilling ride into the future, it's also a fulfillment of the clean-air dream that was born in him as a five-year-old waving goodbye to the exhaust fumes of his parents.
