Quote of the Day: The More Things Change... 1916 Book on Electric Cars : TreeHugger: "he fundamental reasons why the electric car has not attained the popularity it deserves are (1) The failure of the manufacturers to properly educate the general public regarding the wonderful utility of the electric; (2) The failure of [power companies] to make it easy to own and operate the electric by an adequate distribution of charging and boosting stations. The early electrics of limited speed, range and utility produced popular impressions which still exist. --Electrical world, Volume 67, Part 2. Published: 1916."
