The year 2009 was a turning point for electric cars. It was the time right before actual battery-powered vehicles would go on sale—with major automakers rushing to show their embrace of the technology.

Now, as the auto industry embraces a new wave of modern EVs—this time with longer range cars aimed at mass consumer acceptance—automakers are once again using a major European car show to show off their potential plug-in wares.
