30 yrs ago the @latimes published this account at 1993 of a disappointed motorist who had arrived via his own kit built powered by 16 golf cart batteries, but could not find an outlet to charge it at the .

Minuses OutweighPluses ( And Plugs) for Electric Autos. Alternative fuels: A visit to the car show finds that battery-powered vehicles on display are not yet ready to go into production yet. Newspaper Story By BOB POOL - TIMES STAFF WRITER Upstairs in the Convention Center hall, Ford, Volvo and other major auto makers were busy Friday while Larry Lindsay searched parking garage for an outlet to charge his electric car. Downstairs in the parking garage, Larry Lindsay was busy trying to get his electric car charged and cursed red lights on surface streets that made him restart the whirring motor and waste battery power. “I'm apprehensive,” Lindsay said as he used more battery juice and glanced around The Convention Center garage in vain. “I knew I could get here. It's getting back that scares me.” The Greater Los Angeles Auto Show that enticed Lindsay to nurse his 68-horsepower car on the Harbor Fwy to get there had few electric options.
