Just finished 'Car Wars' and wow—what a ride! This isn't some dry tech manual; it's like a backstage pass to the EV world's greatest hits. The author (a car journalist, not an EV fanboy) starts with this wild 1960s race between a souped-up Corvair and a VW Bus. Yes, really.

The GM Sunraycer chapter? Chef's kiss. It’s crazy how automakers flirted with electric ideas way before Tesla made it cool. The EV1 saga reads like a corporate thriller—big promises, bigger betrayals. And the Prius origin story? More dramatic than a Marvel movie pitch meeting.

Hydrogen fuel cells get some page time too, but let’s be real—that section feels like watching deleted scenes from a flop sequel. Mildly interesting, but you see why it got cut.

Pro tip: Read this after watching 'Who Killed the Electric Car?' for maximum outrage-to-inspiration whiplash. My only gripe? Needs more Leaf tea—that chapter feels rushed like the author had a deadline during Nissan’s big reveal.

Final verdict: 5/5 charging stations. Makes you wanna convert your garage into an EV workshop... or at least finally test drive that Model 3.
