Are we back where we were 100 years
ago? At that time electric, steam and gasoline all competed

It is interesting to note that in the 1970s and 80s
there was a resurgence in the interest in electric vehicles

was almost forgotten, but the literature and some of
the cars still remain. This has stirred up interest
in the old car hobby and a review of some of what is
