Taking Charge The Electric Automobile in America

"[Schiffer] is skeptical about the future prospects for the electric car. While electric care advocates 'never tire of pointing out that an electric with a range of 25 to 60 miles is an adequate city car for most people,' he writes, 'what they ignore is the single most important lesson that the history of the early electric vehicle teaches us: the choice of a car technology is influenced by the extreme, not the average, anticipated use.'"Schiefer, Michael Brian is the author of 'Taking Charge The Electric Automobile in America', published 1994 under ISBN 9780756774547 and ISBN 0756774543.
