Electric cars − what's the fuss?

All the big manufacturers are announcing and launching new electric cars. From the prestigious marques such as Audi, BMW and Mercedes to the mass market brands such as Nissan, Ford, Mitsubishi and General Motors, almost every car maker plans to sell them. It is certain that the future looks bright for battery powered vehicles.

But what is all the fuss about? Who are they aimed at? Why should you consider one? What are they like to drive? Are they really environmentally friendly? And what are the advantages of electric power over the internal combustion engine?

The answers are all in The Electric Car Guide series. Unlike other some other books in the market, the series has been written by an author who has been using electric cars himself for a number of years. And in addition to the usual team of book experts, the books have been proof-read and edited by electric car owners as well!
