We are seeing more and more advances in battery tech, range of EV models
and body types, increasing range and dropping prices, all of which is
good in spite of some seriously entrenched, vested interest opposition.
Today, I'm sharing an article from about 3 decades ago, highlighting the
Solectria Sunrise. I'm not going to try summarizing it, it's free to
access at:
https://www.theautopian.com/three-decades-ago-a-sleek-street-legal-electric-car-drove-375-miles-on-a-single-charge/
I don't care for the label 'CRAP Era' in the article; IMO it maligns the
kind of work EV pioneers from the 60s to the 90s were doing to keep the
idea alive with pretty much no resources and less public support.
I do wonder how the EV timeline might have gone if the NiMH batteries
had remained accessible to startups and pioneers.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy the article
