Electric Cars Poised to Transform Urban Commuting in the US
A new electric car called the ETV-1 has been developed in the US under a government program. It has a special motor that recharges the batteries when braking or going downhill. The car aims to be affordable and efficient, saving oil but not necessarily energy. The ETV-1 is designed to be a practical second car for city driving, with hopes for mass production in the 1980s.
