“Electricity has always been the best way to power an automobile. At the dawn of the last century, electric cars were the future, and 100 years later they’re the future again. For that reason, I’m sure you’ll find this book fascinating.” —Jay Leno
“The electric car can satisfy over 90 percent of our transportation needs–today. Jim Motavalli’s High Voltage lays it all out in a clear and concise manner, for all to see. So what are we waiting for?” —Ed Begley Jr.
“Jim’s been on top of the electric car story since day 1–even calling out oil lobbyists on their clandestine anti-EV campaigns back in the 1990s. High Voltage lands us in in 2012 with a well-researched, up-to-the minute dispatch from the front line of one of the most exciting industrial revolutions of our time.” —Chris Paine, director of Who Killed the Electric Car? and Revenge of the Electric Car
“With more than two decades of reporting on clean cars to his credit, Jim Motavalli understands the intricacies of the electric-vehicle scene better than just about anyone. His latest book on the subject is an enjoyable, wide-ranging tour of the 21st-century electric-car revival–essential reading for anyone who cares about the future of transportation.” —Seth Fletcher, author of Bottled Lightning and a senior editor at Popular Science
“Positively electric! Each chapter surges with high voltage. When do we see the movie?” —TOM and RAY MAGLIOZZI, NPR’S Car Talk
“Even if you aren’t a car enthusiast, [Motavalli’s] enthusiasm for the recent surge in electric and plug-in hybrid options on showroom floors, mixed with auto history, first-hand driving experiences and interviews with the industry’s key players, makes for an entertaining read…Motavalli’s behind-the-scenes perspective gives readers real insight into the possibilities offered by electric cars which clearly will no longer be relegated to a niche market.” —E MAGAZINE
