Battery-propelled vehicles in fact predate petrol and diesel engines; indeed, in the Edwardian era, electric vehicles could well have become the dominant form of transport. While limitations to their range and speed meant that fossil-fuelled cars rapidly left them behind, since the 1970s there have been several efforts to revive electric cars, and with recent carbon emissions commitments, offerings such as the Tesla Model 3 and Nissan Leaf have been well received. This fully illustrated introduction explains these developments, charting the most notable electric cars, from the eccentric Amitron and Zagato Zele to the now-mainstream models that are set to dominate the market, such as the BMW i3 and Renault Zoe.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 210mmItem Length: 149mmItem Weight: 148gAuthor: James TaylorGenre: Technology & EngineeringBook Series: Shire LibraryTopic: Science Nature & Math, Travel & TransportRelease Year: 2022
