Explore the fascinating history of early electric cars in this GreenCars 101 video! Discover how electric vehicles (EVs) have evolved from the 1830s to the present day.

Early Beginnings
1838: Scottish inventor Robert Anderson creates the first electric “horseless carriage,” though it was not practical due to non-rechargeable batteries.
1842: Robert Davidson tests an electric train, but limited power and crude batteries hinder its success.

Rechargeable Breakthroughs:
1859: Gaston Plante invents the first rechargeable lead-acid battery, improved by Camille Alphonse Faure in 1881.
1884: Thomas Parker builds the first production electric car using these advancements.

Rise and Fall of Early EVs:
1890s: William Morrison's “electric carriage” and electric taxi cabs gain popularity in cities like London and New York.
1900s: Early EVs lose ground to Henry Ford’s affordable Model T, leading to a decline in EV sales.

Mid-20th Century Experiments:
1950s-1960s: Companies like General Electric and Ford experiment with electric cars, but limited battery technology keeps them from widespread adoption.

Energy Crisis Revival:
1970s: The energy crisis revives interest in electric vehicles, setting the stage for future advancements.
