get through a day without using gasoline.

Everyone thought that the electric car was dead in the 1990s.  Yet it is charging
up for a comeback.
 A handful of automotive giants and start-ups are racing to bring
to market a mass-produced electric vehicle free from the limitations that doomed
previous efforts.

The next 18 months figure to be critical in determining whether the electric car
is a [viable](https://greenlivingguy.com/2007/03/electric-cars-the-next-big-thing/)
alternative to internal combustion. I mean or just more science fiction.

General Motors announced it would bring the electric car back to showrooms as soon
as 2010. But a smaller companies, some backed by A-list technology investors, intend
to beat GM to market by putting cars on the road as soon as this year.

_The momentum is part of a wider trend toward using electricity to help power vehicles._
