Yet, battery powered vehicles date back nearly 200 years and predate the development of the internal combustion engine by several decades. In the early Edwardian era electric cars were a strong contender to become the dominant form of transport, but their range and speed were limited and petrol-fueled cars rapidly eclipsed them. However, since the 1970s there has been an effort to revive the electric car market, and with the recent arrival of the Nissan Leaf and subsequent models in development, the electric car is at last set to take the lead. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis beautifully illustrated introduction traces the history of the electric car from the early nineteenth century up to the burgeoning market of the early twenty-first century.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJames Taylor\u003c\/b\u003e has been writing about cars and transport since the 1970s and his books for Shire include \u003ci\u003eFamily Cars of the 1970s\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBritish Sports Cars of the 1950s and '60s\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eLand Rover\u003c\/i\u003e.
