I hesitate to raise my hand here as I am currently crazy busy on too
many fronts.
In the past, I have rescued some EV-related website material which was
in danger of being lost, and have gathered it into my EV History pages
on the econogics.com website. E.g.,
http://www.econogics.com/ev/DaleW/DaleW-CCar.htm,
http://www.econogics.com/ev/lepman.htm).
If someone else can compile the material related to our EV Pioneers, I'm
prepared to edit material received, put it into HTML, and post it on
this website.
That might resolve the issue with Wikipedia wanting a primary source.
Just offering it as an option to consider in this discussion.
The website has been around since the 1990s, and is funded entirely by
me, so no worries about who pays for it. Upkeep and maintenance is a
bit haphazard, but historical material should not require a lot of
updating once assembled and uploaded.

The problem with Wikipedia is they don't want to be a primary source. They
want a reference from another source for everything that is stated. I've seen
many pages with comments that the information seems to be primary or needs a
cited reference. Now, if they flag that, but don't do anything like delete the
page, that might still be ok.
Since I've seen pages like that, they certainly leave many up.
