Some things are constant in the universe. And any article I write about electric trikes invariably draws out all the armchair automotive engineers who chime in with the well-practiced “they should just put the two wheels in the front because it’s more stable!” Entropy always tends towards disorder. Taxes always come around.

In 2001, a team of engineers at a then-obscure R&D company called AC Propulsion quietly began a groundbreaking experiment. The researchers estimated that, if applied to the task of generating electricity, all of the engines in the U.S. They wanted to see whether an electric vehicle could feed electricity back to the grid.
