It is a bit how Tesla started when their car was a Lotus being electric.

A few months ago I read in the news, that such a Tesla finally had been dep=
reciated in our country to zero, as the battery was not possible to be char=
ged=E2=80=A6

I saw this announcement on the MGOC page. What struck me was that it seems =
to be a case of life imitating art.

 

I don=E2=80=99t know if any of you ever heard of a book called =E2=80=9CZEV=
-1=E2=80=9D. It was self-published by an author here in northern California=
, back in the 1990s. He used to sell it at British car meets, which is wher=
e I acquired a copy.

 

The premise of this book is that an inventor/entrepreneur starts a company =
to build battery electric cars using his proprietary battery technology. An=
d he chooses the MGB as his first model. So the story is about the struggle=
 to build an electric MGB, fighting industry forces, regulators, and unscru=
pulous rivals.

 

This announcement really makes me wonder if these people read this book 20 =
years ago, or stumbled upon it more recently.
