Electric Cars – The Future Is Now
• Columbia was noted for
early and mass production
of electric cars.
• Through a series of
bankruptcy and
subsequent mergers,
Columbia wound up in
1920 as part of the new
Chrysler Motors
Corporation.

Phase I
• Whether by changing stations or exchangeable
batteries, the first phase of the electric car was from
the late 1890’s to WWI.
• During this time, electric automobiles were
competing with petroleum fuel cars in an urban
setting.
• Cities, such as NYC, had numerous charging stations
available for electric automobiles. The first
commercial application was in 1897 when a fleet of
electrical NYC taxi cabs hit the streets.

Phase II
• The second significant phase of electric cars was the
result of the energy crisis of the 1970s and 1980s.
• In the early 1990s, the California Air Resources Board
began to push for more fuel efficient, lower emission
vehicles with the ultimate goal of moving to zero
emission vehicles, such as electric vehicles.
• During this phase, very few units were ever
produced, sold, or released to the public; nearly all
of them were destroyed.

Sociology 101
• As the experience in Phase III with electric
cars, hybrids and plug-in hybrids plays out,
the potential for a significant change in
transportation using electric motors for
propulsion will continue to be limited, as it
has been, in the past, by a natural, individual
and societal reluctance to change.
www.flastergreenberg.com
Sociology 101 Cont’d
• Pure and simple, not only is Phase III governed by
financial considerations, the desire for
independence from oil, but the limitations of
society and its individuals to change behavior
patterns
• “The Future is Now” is enjoying its best start ever
over the course of at least 120 years of the
development of electric propulsion vehicles.
However, where it goes is very much up to you.
