[People News] As the world accelerates its energy transition and governments around the globe announce plans to ban the sale of gasoline-powered cars, a new investigative documentary titled "Electric Vehicles: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" is set to premiere on May 23 on the GJW+ streaming platform by Ganjing World. The film takes a comprehensive look at the opportunities and risks behind the booming electric vehicle (EV) industry.
Honest Portrayal and Rational Dialogue
According to The Epoch Times, the film is hosted by Larry Elder, a renowned U.S. national radio host and 2024 presidential candidate, and produced by award-winning nonprofit studio Impactful Pictures. Through in-depth interviews with 27 experts, the documentary explores whether EVs can truly save the planet, from multiple angles, including environmental impact, ethical concerns, and national security.
This is not a one-sided critique. Instead, Electric Vehicles: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly aims to present an honest and balanced dialogue. Larry Elder, driving his classic Mercedes through the Hollywood Hills, the LA Auto Show, and Electrify Expo, raises pointed questions and uncovers the complex realities hidden behind the industry's glossy exterior.
"This film isn’t just about cars—it’s a discussion about how we choose to shape our future," Elder says. "Before buying an electric vehicle, we need to understand the implications and responsibilities it brings."
Larry Elder is a nationally known radio host, New York Times bestselling author, award-winning documentary filmmaker, and 2024 U.S. presidential candidate. His program, The Larry Elder Show, airs on more than 300 radio stations across the United States and has a significant influence on public policy and social issues.
The film’s director, Mathias Magnason, is an internationally acclaimed documentarian with nearly 30 years of experience. He has produced numerous documentaries focused on human rights, culture, and history. His work, The Origins of the Wuhan Viru,s has amassed over 100 million views.
The production company, Impactful Pictures, is a nonprofit independent film studio based in California, dedicated to creating educational and inspiring family-friendly content. Through powerful real-life stories, the team promotes positive social change. The team has won multiple international awards and produced content shown around the world.
The Reality Behind the Green Energy Ideal
Electric vehicles are widely seen as the inevitable future of transportation. California Governor Gavin Newsom and other policymakers have proposed a full ban on the sale of internal combustion engine vehicles by 2035.
However, Electric Vehicles: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly reminds viewers of several lesser-known issues that remain in the transition:
-
Environmental Costs: The large-scale extraction of rare earth minerals like lithium, cobalt, and nickel causes environmental degradation, while the disposal of EV batteries raises growing concerns over e-waste.
-
Ethical Controversies: Child labour in countries such as the Democratic Republic of Congo is a growing issue in the EV supply chain.
-
National Security Risks: The high degree of digitisation in EVs increases their vulnerability to hacking, and key technologies and resources remain heavily dependent on China.
