Though the passenger electric car industry collapsed in the 1920s, it never truly died out. Join the CAM's Project Coordinator Dumaresq de Pencier as he explores the second century of the electric vehicle, from desperate wartime improvisation, to 1960s "cars of the future", the impact of the Energy Crisis, and the 21st-century electric vehicle boom.
