An essential introduction to the surprisingly long history of the
electric car, from the early pioneers, through to the first
commercially viable marques such as Tesla. After a century in the
shadow of the internal combustion engine, the electric motor is
making a seismic comeback. Battery-propelled vehicles in fact
predate petrol and diesel engines; indeed, in the Edwardian era,
electric vehicles could well have become the dominant form of
transport. While limitations to their range and speed meant that
fossil-fuelled cars rapidly left them behind, since the 1970s there
have been several efforts to revive electric cars, and with recent
carbon emissions commitments, offerings such as the Tesla Model 3
and Nissan Leaf have been well received. This fully illustrated
introduction explains these developments, charting the most notable
electric cars, from the eccentric Amitron and Zagato Zele to the
now-mainstream models that are set to dominate the market, such as
the BMW i3 and Renault Zoe.
