Critic Reviews

“"In the last few decades the EV has, as it were, made noises off stage and been glimpsed occasionally peeking round the curtain as if assessing the audience. Chan and Chau are unabashed entusiasts for the EV. Their backstage work has been assiduous and careful over the last 20 years. They are part of a relatively small but growing corps of automotive engineers sensing that the audience may be ready."--Power Engineering Journal”
