This is an engaging story of a pioneer in reverse, driving the Future back from California to New England. I defy anyone to read it without feeling at least a small stirring of desire for an electric runabout of their own.---Bill McKibben, author of The End of Nature

As with Noel Perrin's previous books, Solo engagingly takes the reader through a relatively technical topic and by examining it under a microscope of Yankee wit and simplicity lays bare all issues surrounding it: the good, the bad, and the hilarious. In Solo, he communicates to the reader all the real differences between driving a lead acid battery EV and a gasoline powered car.---Sean McNamara, market planner, Advanced Engineering Staff Electric Vehicles, General Motors

Thirty years from now, when we're all driving electric cars, we'll look back on this book as both astonishingly prescient and amusingly quaint. Nowadays we can read it to share the adventures of a pioneer.---Professor Donella Meadows, author of The Limits to Growth and Beyond the Limits

Solo by Ned Perrin is a delightful book. It is filled with information, even for those who have already experienced "life with an electric car." Most enjoyable! The alternative of a future without electric cars is a sorry prospect indeed. Like its star, Solo, the book is quietly moving. Oops!---Leslie Nielsen, actor and electric car owner
