Electric Cars: The Ultimate Guide for Understanding the Electric Car And What You Need to Know (Beginner's Introductory Guide, Tesla Model S, Nissan Leaf, Chevrolet Volt, i-MiEV, Smart Car)

I have always been quite competent with practically all aspects relating to automotives but, admittedly, I have always been quite ignorant when it comes to electrics (and maybe unfairly judging of them) until I came across this book. To put it briefly, it's clear, concise and clearly well-researched.I enjoyed this read because the author doesn't pick a bias, he keeps everything neutral and stays straightforward and honest about both the pros and cons; this is what kept me interested from start to finish.To be honest, I am more of a diesel guy myself (I love my trucks), but I can still say that I enjoyed the read and learned a lot. I won't be making the transition over to an electric anytime soon, but my wife has always seemed interested in the idea, so it's a definite possibility... At least now we'll be able to make a more informed decision.

Do not waste your money! This book is absolute garbage. It is written in the most simplistic way possible, most likely lifting generic info from free sources. There are tons of formatting and spelling mistakes. It is almost as if the book is written for 3rd graders but uses big words here and there.

Greencarreports.com has everything contained in this book and much more for free. Don't waste your money. I was looking for something with more detail and depth for real costs in using ev versus gas cars. Nothing here about chargers, solar panels, or home battery packs.

The book was well written, but with the ever changing world the book is a little outdated. If you have never read a book on EVs before, it is a good book to star with.

Pretty good book as an overview. I would suggest this for those considering buying an EV.Lots of information to give the reader somewhere to start.

Ok

A complete waste of money and time, here you will not find any useful information, the book is about 30 pages and uses a BIG font to fill the pages, It's very superficial and does not provide any piece of relevant or practical data, shame on the authors for attempting to cash-in easily from the readers interested in know more about electric cars and this new industry.

Quick read, seems to provide a great foundation for this new and exciting development.

Useless booklet with little valuable content, if any.

I am very interested in lectric cars due to the recent developments from Tesla so I bought this book. However, it was quickly apperent that this book wasn't of much value because of its shortness (despite the ridicolous large font size) and its dated und abvious information. Like: the main components of an electric car are a battery, a motor and a controler. THe battery sends power to the controler which in turn sends it to the motor.Like seriously?

I have been interested in electric cars for a while now and bought this book to check that what I have learnt from other books is right.After reading this book I found out some really interesting facts - the book covers everything!I can safely say after reading this book I know so much more about electric carsAwesome book 100% recommend to anyone interested in electric cars

Waste of time and money.

I wanted to know about electric cars but this told me very little of a technical nature.It is a leaflet stretched out to be a book.If you know absolutely nothing then it may tell you something.I want a proper book.
