Climbing gas prices and environmental concerns are encouraging people to consider making the shift to various electric modes of transportation. World Community will screen the film (75 min.) at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, May 14 at the Stan Hagen Theatre, North Island College, Courtenay.

This entertaining and educational film looks at some of the myths people have about electric cars (speed, range, etc.) and gives thought-provoking information to consider. Vendors, drivers, and enthusiasts share their views.

With thousands of dollars currently available as incentives for purchasing electric cars, some people who watch this film may soon end up driving their own electric vehicle. Resource people will be available to answer questions after the film. Admission is by donation.
