With the recent upsurge in hybrid vehicle adoption and almost all major car OEMs now working on full electric vehicle projects, people often point out that this is old news. In many respects they are correct; the origins of the electric car can be traced back to the 1830s and by the late 1890s fleets of electric taxi cabs were running around the streets of several US cities. So what’s different this time round? By Benjamin Jackson, Product...
