The resurgence of the electric car in modern life is an account of adventurers, men and women who bucked the complete dominance of the fossil-fueled car to seek something cleaner, simpler and cheaper. Award-winning former Wall Block Journal reporter John Fialka documents the early days and nights of the electric car, from the MIT/Caltech race between prototypes in the summer of 1968 to the 1987 triumph of the Sunraycer in the world's first race featuring solar-powered vehicles.

Organizations like the united states Team of Energy and the express of California, along with companies from the old shield of Basic Motors and Toyota as well as upstart young players like Tesla Motors and Elon Musk, have embraced the once-extinct technology. The electric car has gradually gained traction in america and around the world.
