Summary
History of the Electric Automobile covers the evolution from the first electric vehicles of the 1880s to the advances of today. Beginning with early electric vehicle development in England, France and the United States, this book provides an in-depth look at the so-called golden age of electric vehicles (1895-1905), demonstrating the technological improvements and business risks of this era. This history also explores the dead period of the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s, and the subsequent re-birth of interest in electric vehicles in the early 1960s. Events which have impacted the development of electric cars since then -- most notably the electric vehicle act of 1976 -- are also examined
