In Reply to: RE: Check your history posted by Sprezza Tura on January 15, 2013 at 21:10:57:
stunned to read that both Ford and Edison had collaborated to create an electric car system and that many of theoir ideas are similar if not identical to those being bandied about today.
Again the advent of WWI doomed thier efforts. The war meant that the military needed vehicles that could easily be refilled and that could be refueled over very long and isolated terrain.
The gas auto was considered a God send in eliminating the tons of horse poop that littered the streets of , say, New York City. Then the fumes of the cars became an issue even back then. Of course Edison saw it as a way of increasing his profits....
At any rate, the circle seems to be completing itself.
