Demand for electric vehicles is soaring but problems ranging from
batteries to chips, charging and the cost of cars could see the

was the story of electric cars 130 years ago and amazingly, the
same story today.

the history of the electric car, the issues the industry faced
then, the similarities today and where the opportunities lie for
investors.
