Real-world impact
The film made the case for electric motorsport at a pivotal moment, and Formula E has since grown into a major international series with Mercedes, Porsche, Jaguar, and Nissan now competing — validating the film's thesis about electric performance. By pairing Leonardo DiCaprio's climate platform with the visceral excitement of racing, the documentary reached audiences who might never engage with a traditional environmental film, demonstrating that cutting-edge racing technology filters directly down to consumer electric vehicles.
