This book has been written to provide a comprehensive picture of the history, current status and the likely future development of electric cars, as it is seen at the beginning of the second millennium. I have chosen to write about electric cars rather than electric trucks and buses as it seems to me that the success of electric cars in the market place will be the clearest signal of the technology reaching maturity. The category of cars includes such vehicles as taxis and light delivery vehicles but not trucks and buses. The book is intended both for those working on all aspects of electric vehicle development and use, as well as for those members of the general public who have an interest in the technology and the future of personal transportation. It should also be of interest to those concerned by the pollution currently caused by the internal combustion engine and who see the electric car as one of the ways by which this pollution can be reduced.
