Hi David,
Yes, I learned about Nicola Tesla back in College Physics in the early
1960s. Truly a misunderstood genius. We should have dumped Edison and gone
with Tesla way back when.
FWIW, one of the historical books I read a very long time ago mentioned his
experiments with a car so I do believe the info on the site Phil posted is
quite true though I cannot offer definitive proof. That said, a Google of
"Nicola Tesla electric car" yields 35,000 hits which leads me to believe
that there is ample proof somewhere!
Cheers!!
Jim
