From the article......

"In 1901, 38 per cent of the cars were electric, and 20 per cent or so were petrol, and in the middle, there was the outgoing technology of steam," says technologist and historian David Kirsch.

"If you'd asked the great experts of their age in 1900 which technology would come to dominate the motor-based transportation, I think most learned people would have said electricity."

And more recently.....all the homebuilt VW Golf, (US Rabbit) conversions of the 70's and 80's.
Aswell as the electric launches on lake Windermere in the UK, electric milk floats and Duck Flat river launches of South Australia.

Yeah hardly anything new.
