This account of American progress starts with some statistics of oil consumption, and goes on to review Ni-Zn, Ni-Fe and lead acid batteries. DC motors have been used almost exclusively so far for road traction drives. New ideas include the use of thyristors to give stepless variable speed control. The characteristics of both pure electric and hybrid vehicles from various manufacturers are discussed. An electric car being developed at the TH Eindhoven and based on the VW Golf is described briefly.
