An Illustrated History of the Electric Taxi
From the Electrobat to the Nissan Leaf, a century of New York—and the world’s—flirtation with battery-powered cabs.
Editor’s note: Visual storyteller Emma Jacobs shares the history of the electric taxi’s rise and fall. Her book, The Little(r) Museums of Paris: An Illustrated Guide to the City's Hidden Gems comes out this June.
