Abstract
The author points out that there is now an apparent acceptance by the auto industries in the world of the electric car event and large financial commitments to its developments. What is still prominently missing is the availability and mass production of high performance batteries. The other major components which also require a considerable development effort include: 1) the propulsion system consisting of motor and transmission; 2) speed or power controller of battery power to motor; 3) power storage devices including fly wheels; 4) on board charging system, including the 12 V car system; and 5) instrumentation, power brakes and protection
