The 1973 to 1975 recession was the OPEC induced oil crisis and the first one since our Peak Oil event which occurred in 1970. This period in US history saw gas lines and severe unemployment and also a period (in which is atypical during a recessionary period), rising inflation. So what does this have to do with Electric Cars?
