to gain popularity over the years they range from practical includes the odd and downright desire join us as we delve into the history of the earliest eaves in the weird and wonderful electric vehicles. the saw the light of the before we got to be connected cars on you think again, over a 100 years ago, these had put an end to the cost of drawn carriages. and along with it to meet the dodge cost of droppings, he's proved more convenient than steam cars, and easier, cheaper and clean out the gas guzzling driver. so why does the word abandon these once beloved machines? the in the early 19 hundreds is needed to be 100 plus the rather than to crowded a lot and fuel was more expensive than electricity. all the footwork and the feeble fees until the american oil boom and the ford models email electric vehicles off

they've paid, it's still. but over the course of history, the whole for battery powered mobility never died. and especially when the state, if an oil crisis loomed ease, had a habit of popping up, renewing the belief that they could solve the transport sector's energy wards. as recently as a few years ago, electric vehicles will come to the machines of the future. once that, like sunday tools to be the ideal way to meet to buy permission peoples. but even though they become increasingly common manufacturers, energy companies and governments around the world are pushing to develop battery technology, charging and pressure of to in the policy. it's an even one to demetria develop as to whether or not it is truly can be the best way forward for the automotive future . it's easy to forget, but the ones for an intention to fall past the early days of the these were experimental, to say the least opted all it was the 1800s, a time of scientific discovery,

innovation and rapid progress, which saw the invention of modes of transport. like steam locomotive and the velocity feed. some credit for getting as moving electric 3 goes to engage and increase the inventor on yours is one year. he develop the light thing, magnetic fields pro to establish it as the world's 1st electric motor. in 1828. he use these 2 propeller model cars setting the stage for further automotive development, gas electricity, and the competing cost dependency as the proposed power in the early automobiles. in 1832 scottish and mentor all by the end defend developed what's considered the was 1st for the electric vehicle. it was essentially a cabbage provided by an electric motor. unfortunately, the de chargeable battery hadn't been invented at the time. and once the machine has moved forward and it's collision at top speed of 12 kilometers an hour and exhausting fee. and dan, it's bachelor,

it's the best he needed to be thrown away and replaced with a new one. that's the most practical solution for them. open round about and 1859 french physics. this guest on 20, invented the new chargeable battery and east started making progress under the lend road. in 18. 84 englishmen, thomas parker began experimenting with to the diabetes and and 1890 in the us. william morrison applied for the patent and electric heat booth a few years earlier. it caused quite a still in spots the imagination of various inventive, like henry d, morris and federal asylum who built the electro bet the 1st commercially viable electric car. they even made electric caps, which operated in cities like new york at the end of the century. believe it or not, these cabs are then almost uninterrupted, thanks to the ingenious manhood of battery swapping. that involve of cream and 2 or 3 minutes. eas, we're getting quicker to belgian communion at sea became the 1st person in the world to break the 100 kilometers an hour bad. yeah,

and his purpose with electricity is call slide show me can talk finch. whenever content afterwards, easy, seemed unstoppable. in fact, the 1st guy putting in push ahead and in building the echo lunacy to facing was an easy electric cause was simply taking over the street. the things changed around 19 o. 8 more than more modern piece began rolling off. henry ford's assembly lines that along with the discovery of cheap crudo island, texas mid the i, c e attempting proposition. the final nail in the coffin was charles catchings. electric felt start though, which eliminated the inconvenience of hen cranking account say 1923. the model because tough for them easy did. which means potential lizzie, as it had been nicknamed, was simply everywhere and had left the electric got eating, it's done to buy it on the 19 puppies.

electric vehicles were for all intents and purposes. then of course the, with a few exceptions like in england where electric moves. so it's continued to be the norm from the time they were invented until it on the 9th of 18. and although the 1st thing, these had seemingly disappeared from the face of the way brought to the physical therapy and mentioned to route and significant machines like this one, the pleasure of b o, b o 2 are new to the view which translates to like city car, this many cab yearly would staggered seating was possibly the world's 1st electric, my ciocca v. there's quite a few eyebrows when it was 1st announced, since no friends call me because at the time we're considering electric propulsion . but with thoughts upfront, i'm the gentleman occupation. the v was pleasures level. we have side stepping the to restrictions imposed on french civilians. the v o.

these were mainly used by postal workers in deltas, but after just 377 units were produced, the nazis band because you the, the few years later, post war japan was suffering from us to the shortage of oil. so running automobiles and electricity, which was cheap and $24.00, seemed like a good idea. so the tool to electric automobile company came up with this. the tama between 1947 and 51. thomas could be seen playing depends roads, primarily s taxis. and the fact that the tool to electric automobile company eventually locked into prince automotive, which in turn became dot to miss on means that long before the lead, nissan had a successful in the form of the time on the across the phone with them to boot is heading down to a cms

a toilet and one of the 1st the, these are nearly 2 decades. the to a problem is just happens to be both by an electricity company, but on both the quotes and the company that's manufactured vaccine cleaners. in 1959, the henry motor company owned by the national union electric company, which also owned utica williams, created an e. b called a henry kilowatt taking the shell and underpinnings from the scene. the police because it ends in with an electric motor and stored the back she's under the hood . national union, electric was keen to manufacture ease because they also produce the excite batteries which followed these cars. but no storage basement the, these one fairly practical and the way expensive 2 of the 100 killer watts boot is reportedly on the 47, whatever fluid mostly the other electric companies. so hoops the honey killer. what would become the next big, easy work? trust? pretty quickly, the then came the 1st problem

e attempt in decades by an american comic of general motors intellectual there in 1964 jim book, a chevy carver, and fitted it with a back to back. 2 years later, they went back to the drawing board using a 19661 the hot off model to come up with the electro bear to the car, had an induction motor this year and a battery pack upfront. and was by far the coolest looking easy manufactured upon to been. the drawback was the back. she was extremely heavy and needed to be placed between the 651-2500 kilometer a month. which meant that the call was effectively a non starter. the gm also try the handed moving and electrified ship. it called the electromagnet in the late 19 seventies. they will confident that the battery technology had significantly improved by then. this is isaac nichol oxide, right?

which has about $2.00 to $2.00 and a half times the energy storage capability of the letter acid batteries, which were formerly the only ones available. so this really is a, is the breakthrough that makes possible and electric car like this. but this fi testing model to go back to you can see the electromagnet simply then deliver on its promises. are the experimental american need. these are fed and i'm through general electric data. and for this computer prototype with perhaps a genuine load as easy from that era that can be computed, something of a success wasn't even an easy the most of it's more thing on the surface of fear. the lunar moving vehicles. so a lot of these will battery powered 4 wheelers use during the last 3 apollo emissions. a joint efforts by boeing and general motors the 1st l r. b was deployed on july 31st, 1971 during the apollo 15 mission. the

aim to help estimates cover moving out. so if it's doing the expedition as to know if you dean phone and even fit the unofficial land speed record, when he hit 18 kilometers an hour in one of us bands and on the moon, i still follow emissions 1516 and 17. with him in to this, the company across the atlantic were keen not to be left behind in 1966 and fewer automotive in england produced a 120. it has an electric cause of which 65 for use by the u. k. is electricity council? people took to them on average, a range of about 40 miles to the side of the light fixture purposes. and we took off, so to focus on and reduce the engineer alice because they develop in e d called the cock of close. the in 1967. carter was so confident,

as with the way forward, he even told the daily mail that he believed $250000.00 such guards would be on british roads within 5 short. he is. and these one, the only examples at o at b footer's motor corporation is long rates headquarters. they don't intend to be left behind in conjunction with a battery for them. it's planned to build an electric town call within 2 years. that's what dates cloud design. i like, is it going it is working on let's fast forward to the ninety's when it ends when being made to bring ease into the present or judging by the design of this machine, the future american comedy, it goes what undergoing pressure from california to sell a certain percentage of 0 emission vehicles, safety wanted to do business in the states. so gm booth and fluid the, the one from $96.00 to $99.00. now seen as something of cause callbacks and rumors

about and the gm, sabotage the easy ones to kansas in order to keep selling ease jumped ahead through 2012 and silicon valley was taken over with testimony. so it's still becoming the best selling american made easy, but it was a brand little car that will discount until then. this evening. vanguard, city can see by bought beaumont around 4500 of these cheese wedges, on wheels with only between 19741977. a change in ownership meant it was eventually the brand of the commune car. and also came in a long commute of and vision. it's signal to slaughter the people wanted to drive at the time. and it was we ahead of electric for just cycles like the old, padded rock see. or some actually know this desire for small practical electric cars made its presence voted on the wood and the 2 thousands in india, the v by electrical company sold the viva. and even exported to the u. k. as the g

with the and the nor we split on by fin, stop equal heroes, aha, know regions to, into, to domestic models the body, d, b and the pink city. much like this. predict to a full fathers. none of these little machines took the test of time, but they kept the spot of the dream life. today, electric vehicles have gone down to the main stream and come in all manner of conventional shapes and sizes. so you might not be the most common machines on the road. if you're still a bond this whether or not they can be truly inconvenient and the duty is to load as to whether or not they're likely to save the planet. but even as manufacturers to itself are both whether or not they've going for the electrics. one thing we can all agree on is the end of the cookie. electric vehicle is gone. and it's a downright shame that we won't see any of these unusual machines brightening up the cityscape as we move to the alone. what's your
