"The electric vehicle seemed poised in 1900 to be a leader in automotive production. Then the hope and confidence collapsed and two decades later electric cars were effectively dead. They remained expensive even as gasoline cars saw dramatic price reductions. The storage battery was an endless source of problems. A public relations campaign could not turn the tide"--Provided by publisher.
