Electric cars are making history—and not for the first time. Last weekend, we featured an electric car from a forgotten era, the (very early) 1960s. Electric cars from 35 years later grabbed the public imagination after the movie "Who Killed the Electric Car" turned General Motors into a villain and its EV1 electric car into a celebrity...
