- catalog abstract ""In Electric Vehicle, Gijs Mom challenges this view, arguing that at the beginning of the automobile age neither the internal combustion engine nor the battery-powered vehicle enjoyed a clear advantage.

He makes abundant comparisons among European countries and between Europe and America."
