Electric cars become a new arena for manufacturers to compete. Battery-based car is also predicted to be the future of the automotive industry.
However, do you know before the crowded discussed today, electric car technology has long been discovered, even since the 19th century exactly in 1828.
Early Invention of Electric Car
In 1828, there are some people who have found, even had to experiment on vehicles that use electric motors.
Call it, a Hungarian man who created what he calls a small-scale car. At that time, the car was using an electric motor that he created himself.
Then continued in 1835. A Dutch professor, Stratingh assisted by his assistant Christoper Becker tested a small electric car. In addition, in the United States, Thomas Davenport in the same year also invented the DC electric motor, which marked as the first electric motor found on American soil.
1842
Over time, Thomas Davenport and Robert Scotsmen managed to prove that electric cars are more practical. In this year, they became the first in battery embedding as an electric container. But unfortunately, the battery at that time can not be refilled.
1865
Until the end, there was a French man, his name Gaston Plante invented a battery that could store electricity. Together with compatriot, Camille Faure, began to increase the capacity capacity of the battery. From there he succeeded in creating a more practical and efficient electric vehicle.
In the late 1800s, America and France became the first two countries to support the expansion of electric vehicle development.
1891
L. Ryker and William Morrison, the United States nationality man known as a chemist, built a 6-passenger electric vehicle capable of speeding up to 22 km / h. In the hands of William era of electric vehicles to reality.
1897
Then, a few years after the emergence of electric vehicles berpenumpang, Philadelphia-based company, the United States called Electric Carriage and Wagon Company run the business of commercial vehicles using electric vehicles as a taxi in New York City.
1899
From then on, electric vehicles began to exist as a means of transportation. Its presence also created many records for speed and distance problems. One of the most famous records came from Belgium, which set a record for electric racing cars and set a world record of achieving speeds of 109 km / h.
This car is named La Jamais Contene, built by Camille Jènatzy.
As time passes, electric vehicles increasingly show their existence. In the early 1900s, electric vehicles were not the only option. Vehicles with steam and gasoline have begun to arrive.
Between 1899 and 1900, the peak of electric cars in the United States because they can sell all types of vehicles (electricity, gasoline and steam). One example is the Phaeton built by Woods Motor Vehicle Company in Chicago in 1902.
At that time, Phaeton has a distance of about 29 kilometers, with a top speed of 22 km / hour. Cars that the formation like a delman was sold for 2 thousand US dollars.
1916
Reported by ThoungtCo, at the end of 1916, Woods Motor Vehicle Company created the first hybrid car that was supported by using gasoline engines and electric motors.
In this century, the existence of electric vehicles increasingly become-so. At that time, his presence was considered to bring a lot of profit.
How not, despite having a slight speed, electric vehicles have absolutely no vibration, he also does not smell, and quiet.
Moreover, changing gear on driving when iu become a hassle. On the other hand, electric cars offer practicality.
At that time, electric vehicles were considered highly efficient vehicles, and began to be widely used by upscale people as urban cars.
