This review is from: History of the Electric Automobile: Hybrid Electric Cars (Hardcover)

Dr. Wakefield's second book in a 2-part series on the history of the electric automobile is well-written, well-researched, and an absolute must for anybody who wants to know about hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs). Unfortunately, this book was a little frustrating because he frequently refers back to his first book, which is very tough to get now (out of print). Also, he dwells heavily on solar cars, and less on more practical HEVs. Nonetheless, Dr. Wakefield is THE authority in the area of EV history, and anyone who wants to know this subject must read this book.
