and there's no need to buy tickets. the festival is free. the and you're up to date up next to our auto and mobility show risk. i melissa chad, thanks for watching. the updates innovation. green the green revolution global. so listen to a whole lot of crime. it's probably up to speed if the carriers subscribe to those channels every subscribe to plan, it's a did you know, electric vehicles, ones look like this, this. and even this impact fee with the very 1st mass produced motor cars to gain popularity over the years. they range from practical includes the odd and

downright bizarre 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 to 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, tvs prove more convenient than steam cars, and easier, cheaper and clean out the gas guzzling drivers. so why did the would abandon these once beloved machines? in the early 19 hundreds i see needed to be head train plus the rather than to crowd that a lot and fuel was more expensive than electricity. all the footwork and the fee. able to see these until the american oil boom and the ford models, email electric vehicles all fit the stoves. but over the costs of history,

the whole for battery powered mobility never died. and especially when the type of an oil crisis loomed ease, had a habit of popping up, renewing the belief that they could solve the transport sector's energy was as recently as a few years ago, electric vehicles will come to those machines at the future. once that lifetime they chose to be the ideal way to meet to buy permission people. but even though they become increasingly common manufacturers, energy companies and governments around the world are pushing to develop battery technology, charging and pressure up to in the policy. it's an even one to demetria just on 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 file past the, 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 for the invention of modes of time for like the steam locomotive and the

velocity feed. some credit for getting us moving electric, we goes to engage and increase the inventor on yours is one year. he develop the light thing, magnetic sales pro to establish it as the world's 1st electric motor. in $1828.00, he use this to propeller model cars setting the stage for further automotive development, gas electricity, and the mock competing cost dependency. as the proposed power in the early automobiles and aging people, scottish and mentor all by the end defend, develop 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 the energy and it's back to back to needed to be thrown away and replaced with a new one. not for me,

its practical solution for that open round about in 18. 69 french physics. this guest on 20, invented the new chargeable battery and east started making progress under the lend road. in 1884 englishmen, thomas parker began experimenting with to the diabetes. and and 1890 in the us. william morrison applied for the patient and electrical 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. but the 1st commercially viable electric car, they even made electric caps, which alternated in cities like new york at the end of the sent to the believe it or not, these cabs in 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 kinda pleasure. me can talk french whenever

content afterwards. easy seemed unstoppable. in fact, the 1st guy putting in push ahead of hand in building the egg alone, a seat facing was an easy electric cars 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 field 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 the by it on the 19 thirty's

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 and 18th. and although the 1st and 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 b, o, b, or 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 cuz at the time we're considering electric propulsion. but with parts of france, i'm the gentleman occupation. the v was pleasures clever way of 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 book produced the nazis band because you the, the few years later of 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 prints 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 each of these heading down to a complete hoyt and one of the 1st the these are nearly 2 decades the to a problem. this just happened to be, is buying electricity comes to me,

but on both the quotes and the company that's manufacturing 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 the hennie kilowatt. taking the shell in underpinnings from the i know to feed the police because he a engine 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 started specimen the, these one very 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 the manufacturer upon to then. 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 hand of building an electrified ship. it called the electromagnet in the late 19 seventy's, be able, confident that the factory technology had significantly improved by then. this is isaac nickel oxide battery, which has about $2.00 to $2.00 and a half times the energy storage capability. some of the lead 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 by testing multiple batch. you can see the electromagnet simply then deliver on its promises. are the experimental american. each of these are fed and i'm through general electric data. and for this computer prototype, with perhaps a genuine load of 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 balloon on moving vehicles, a lot of bees will battery powered for wheelers use during the last 3 apollo emissions, a joint efforts by boeing and general motors the 1st and r b was deployed on july 31st 1971 during the apollo 15 mission the aim to help estimates couple moving out. so if it's doing the expedition as to

know if you dean phone and even set the unofficial land speed record, when he hit 18 kilometers an hour in one of us bands and on the moon asked the apollo missions 1516 and 17, where the domain to this, the company is 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 outside of the life of the purposes. and we took up 30 to fulfill enterprise and reduce engineer alice because they develop in the called the cock. of course the in 1967 carter was so confident as with the way forward he even told the daily mail to believe $250000.00 such cause would be on british rewards

within 5 short years. and these one, the only examples at o at b footer's motor corporation was long break 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 on these proud 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 call me cuz we're undergoing pressure from california to sell a certain percentage of 0 emission vehicles if they wanted to do business some of the states. so gm booth and fluid the e. b one from 96 to 99. now seen as something of cause callbacks and rumors abound the gm, sabotage the easy ones, kansas in order to keep selling ease jumped ahead to 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 longer commute of end variant, its signal to slaughter the people wanted to drive at the time. and it was, we ahead of the electric quadrant cycles, like the old padded rock c or some actually known this desire for small practical electric cars made its presence felt around the world and the 2000 in india, the v vi electric company sold the viva. and even exported it to the u. k. as the g with the and to norway split on by some stop equal

heroes. ha. norwegian sto into to domestic models. the body and the pink city. much like this page or 2 or 4 or 5, those 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. we might not be the most common machines on the road . feel 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 the more to the alone. whatever they've been, i'm usually these and the all part of the world,

i think we'd love to hear from you in the called the the for american comic is chinese competition in the globally. the market is a growing concerned and chinese electric vehicles in the us. that's the worst nightmare, detroit and watching, want to keep china out periods. if this protectionism is, it may be all the politics. the land of the free and home of the roof is not a market for chinese. maybe these have.
