The Arrival of the Electric Car

I have driven a Prius for many years and I’m now ready to switch to pure electric. This book answered all of my questions about what vehicles are available and what I need to do to prepare for owning an EV. The information is presented in a clear and user friendly way which is much appreciated.

This is a very clear explanation of how electric cars work. It covers all facits ncluding the different speeds of charging, the time it takes to charge ie 120v, 240v and a commercial charging station. The costs of maintaining a EV vs a gas car. It is very useful to anyone considering an electric vehicle.

Thanks to Johnston and Sobey for an informational AND accessible read about electric cars. Loved the history section - who knew!? The Buyers Guide section is well researched and helpful. The book overall is a must-have if thinking about owning an electric vehicle or just wanting to read up on the field. Friends have already bought the book at my recommendation too!

I’ve worked in the traditional auto industry for years. This book got me up-to-speed on the electrified space. Also, I didn’t know that there are three new EV pickup trucks hitting the market next year. The Lordstown Endurance looks really cool.

I am in the market for an EV and this book was a helpful in easing my perturbation about making the leap.

Though I would never label myself a gearhead, I have always been a loyal buyer of "Detroit iron". There's just something about the sound and the feel. With the prices of EV's coming down, and charging stations growing in number, and the information from this book, even I may become a convert to quiet, instantaneous acceleration.

I started my career as an automotive engineer.This book does a great job of describing the details of the electric vehicle market. It has enough technical details to satisfy me and will also be useful to the casual reader interested in electric vehicles.Also, I’m in the market for an electric SUV.E-SUVs are an exciting, emerging segment and the book provides an up to date snapshot.There are a few websites with market info but this is the first comprehensive book I found. And I purchased it immediately.

It seems that a critical mass of the EV offering is finally coming to fruition. The book points out that there are eleven all-electric SUVs either on sale now or coming next year in the United States!With my goal of not buying a fossil fuel car again, this book has provided very useful information in my research.

Not read yet but looks full of info. Print is clear and not too small
