1920
Electric vehicles until the heyday, production numbers soared in 1912.
Almost extinct
Apparently, the peak of success is not always siding with electric vehicles. Due to various factors make the electric car charm faded and almost extinct.
Around the 1920s, the United States had an infrastructure development that could connect between one city and another. There, they realize if the need for vehicles that can be invited to go for long distances and not found on electric vehicles.
At the same time, a source of crude oil was discovered in Texas that affected the low fuel prices in the United States at the time.
Henry Ford (Founder of Ford Motor Company) took a fortune through the mass production of internal combustion engine vehicles. Practically, at that time mobi with gasoline engine is widely available and the price is very affordable.

At that time the price of electric vehicles can be translucent in the number 2,000 US dollars or Rp 27 million, while gasoline-powered vehicles only start from 500 US dollars or equivalent to Rp 6.7 million.
Over time, gasoline-fueled cars are increasingly in demand. Especially in the same year Charles Kettering introduced electric starter on gasoline-fueled vehicles.
1935-1960
Electric vehicles seemed to disappear into the earth. This period can be said to be the dead years for the development of electric vehicles and for its use as a means of personal transportation.
Over a long period of time, abundant fuel oil and the ever-growing internal combustion engine technology are pushing electric cars.
1960-1970
But, electric cars were sought after when the energy crisis occurred in 1960-1970. This year, the need for an alternative fuel vehicle will rise again.
Starting from 1960 onwards, many efforts were made by various parties to bring back electric vehicles.
Still in the same year, Boyertown Auto Body Works in collaboration with Battronic Truck Company, British Smith Delivery Vehicle, and the Exterior Division of the Electric Battery Company, built an electric truck.
Not to stop there, Battronic also worked with General Electric in 1973 to 1983 to demonstrate the ability of a battery-powered vehicle. From there, Battronic also memproduski about 20 units of passenger buses in the 1970s.
1975
Gradually, the existence of electric vehicles is increasing. In 1975, American Motors Corporation produced an electric jeep used by the postal service in the United States in 1975.
Jeep issued this AMC has a top speed of 80 km / hour. While the time required for battery recharging is for 10 hours.

Despite demikain, this point seems to be a stepping stone and green light for vehicle manufacturers around the world who focus the manufacturer in developing electric cars.
1990
In the early 1990s, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) began pressuring automotive manufacturers to start making cars fuel efficient, low emissions, with the ultimate goal of making zero-emission vehicles such as electric vehicles.

Until now, a number of manufacturers began to focus on developing electric cars. Tesla, from America, Nissan with LEAF, and more.
While in Indonesia, the government is currently brewing the rules of accelerating the use of electric cars. By 2025, as many as 20% of domestically produced cars are fuel-efficient and electric-based vehicles
