Your recommendation has been sent to your librarian.

In this chapter the author have brought together all the information available on the current (2001) production, prototype and experimental battery electric cars developed by the major manufacturers together with more detailed descriptions of four of the production vehicles which the author consider to be of major significance. This information is given. The technical details given have been provided directly by the manufacturers except in a few cases where information has been obtained from published papers and press reports. Specialist niche manufacturers of electric vehicles such as Bombardier and Solectria are not included, as it is my view that it is essential for the major automotive manufacturers to commit to electric vehicles for them to succeed. It is therefore the developments introduced by the major manufacturers that we should concentrate on if we are to understand where electric car development is heading.
