"We are at the threshold of a massive shift to electric vehicles. Charles Murray's Long Hard Road: The Lithium-Ion Battery and the Electric Car spells out the history of over one hundred years in the development of an appropriate battery. Historically, battery cost has been the largest impediment to commercialization of electric vehicles, but there are other important issues like material availability and safety. Key people and companies are discussed in the evolution of today's superior battery technology. As we look to the future, history is an important foundation for success." —David E. Cole, Chair Emeritus, Center for Automotive Research, and Professor Emeritus, University of Michigan Engineering
". . . a panoramic view of the key events that spanned four decades, covering all the well-known figures, with little-known behind-the-scenes stories . . . " —Kang Xu, Electrochemical Society Fellow and battery scientist
