Electric Cars The Future is Now!: Your Guide to the Cars You Can Buy Now and What the Future Holds

Customer Reviews:

Really poor book - focuses on opinion and not fact

By Andy Hayes - December 18, 2010

I was really disappointed with this book, it focuses on the authors own opinion about electric cars and skips the facts. Worse, some of the points that are claimed as fact are actually wrong. Not just the specification or abilities of some of the cars that are included, but the vehicle classifications and, far worse, the environmental argument where the author just simply has not done his research and produced some 'facts' that are so wrong, they're absolutely unacceptable.

I've been following the electric vehicle scene for a few years and bought myself a GEM electric vehicle a year ago for short journeys.

And that there are loopholes that make it possible to legalize vehicles that shouldn't be driven on streets.

I take it from the annotation that the author comes from car engineering background and it's interesting to get his opinion from the insider's point of view. Though I didn't feel overwhelmed with too much technicalities and I should say the book is quite reader-friendly which is not always the case with such a technical subject.

It has some interesting details about fuel consumption, electricity sources and some futuristic green technologies. Some good... read more

A good starting ground for info about Electric Cars

By BENJAMIN ALLEN - December 14, 2010

This book is published in England (the UK), but it still gives you useful information about US items. This book lists the pros and cons of electric cars and does it in a very positive and reflective way.
