"Even if it died tomorrow, Tesla has already achieved what it set out to do: accelerate the world's transition to sustainable transport. It has convinced the world that electric cars can be great."

I really enjoyed Hamish McKenzie's overview of the pending electric revolution within the auto industry. I learned so much, particularly in regards to the progress various nations around the world are making to be rid of gas powered vehicles.

Full disclosure: I am a HUGE Elon Musk fangirl and Tesla shareholder.

As far as the format and writing for this book, I think they were both very well executed. McKenzie has a journalism background and I think that definitely shines through in the best ways. His ease with explaining a fairly large and complex sector of the market was impressive and I appreciated the way he examined the big picture; aka. looked at the issue of transitioning to electric vehicles from a global perspective and the effects that it could have long-term.

Whether you are a believer yet or not, it stands to reason that within a generation or two, the kids of the future will look at our current gas powered vehicles like my nieces and nephews look at rotary dial telephones. This concise book is a great start to understanding the history, scope and issues in a nonpolitical way and extends forth a positive outlook on the future while also questioning how these changes will affect our economy and society in future.

Thank you so much to Dutton Books and NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to read this book and provide my feedback. I always appreciate the opportunity!

I'd hoped this would be an insider look at Tesla but it turns out the author used to work there and owns Tesla stock. As a result there is nothing we don't already know about Tesla or Elon Musk and I feel that it's a missed opportunity especially from somebody who probably has very good contacts within the company.
