Taking Charge - The Electric Automobile in America (Paperback, 2 Ed)

Special Features
- Global Warning Fears: As more Americans become concerned about global warning, interest in clean cars will only increase; Schiffer's work explains why electric cars failed in the past and how they might become popular in the future.
- Environmental History and Advocacy: Taking Charge should be standard reading for all environmentalists, people concerned about sprawl, and anybody interested in the future of America's air.
- America's Inventors: The book contains many untold stories about Thomas Alva Edison and Henry Ford-both who were worked on electric cars.
- Popularity of Hybrids: Hybrid cars (part gas and part battery) are selling like hot cakes-650 miles on one tank of gas-and will only become more popular. Honda and Toyota have brought out hybrids; and Toyota, Land Rover, and Ford are all introducing SUV hybrids.
