The Electric Car: development and future of battery, hybrid and fuel-cell cars — Recommend this title to your library

Thank you

Your recommendation has been sent to your librarian.

In this book I have tried to describe the current state of electric vehicle technology at the beginning of the year 2001. It seems clear to me that before the first 20 years of this century are over, increasing pressure on the environment will result in increasingly severe regulation of emissions from vehicles in urban areas. This, together with the rocketing cost of hydrocarbon fuels, will ensure that personal transport needs will have to be met by a mixture of highly economical, relatively low-performance gasoline or diesel-fuelled cars and by a range of electric cars of various types.
