		The electric street car, invented in Germany, took the world by storm in the early 1880s, arriving in Dayton in 1888 on a new downtown route.
		This new transit system was called the "trackless trolley," "trolley coach," "trolley bus" and eventually the "electric trolley bus." The electric trolley bus clanged its bell, ground its steel wheels on the steel track, threw sparks, and remained the primary mode of city transportation until the early 1930s.
		After a fire in 1932, the Dayton Street Rail Road Company replaced its destroyed trolley cars with model T-40 street cars (buses) built by the Brill Car Company and strung new trolley wire for the car's return.

		EV1, an electric car that Spertus, a computer science professor at Mills College in Oakland, and her husband, Keith Golden, a rocket scientist at NASA Ames Research Center in nearby Mountain View, charge up every night at home in their garage in San Francisco.
		GM and other automakers have long argued that electric cars are not economically feasible or marketable; they maintain that no one, outside of a few technophiles and environmentalists, wants to drive a battery-powered car that needs to be charged about every 100 miles.

EV1 drivers say the neighborhood cars, which have more in common with golf carts than cars, and are only safe at speeds of about 25 mph, just serve to reinforce the public's misconception that electric cars are little more than glorified toys that will never replace gas guzzlers.
