Electric Vehicles

This paper explains how the first electric vehicle was developed in the late 1800's and discusses how its technology evolved over the years. It discusses its features, as opposed to gasoline-based vehicles, and looks at the environmental benefits of the electric car.

From the Paper:

"Given the small number of electric cars that are located on American roads today, it is surprising to note that some of the first automobiles used non-rechargeable electric cells. Although these alternative versions offered many advantages over their competitors that ran on gasoline and steam, for a number of reasons manufacturers began producing internal combustion engine automobiles in such large numbers that electrical vehicles became a thing of the past. In fact, electrical cars have only begun to make a comeback in recent years. Whether or not they once again gain a major acceptance level is yet to be seen."
