Imagine an entire fleet run off electricity, without the need for gasoline. That probably sounds like the world of the future, but actually it’s the world we almost had. Here’s some interesting information about the history of electric cars, from T&A Truck Specialist, Inc in Tampa, FL.
When you think of the first automobile, something to the effect of a Model T comes to mind. When you think about electric cars, a modern Tesla is most likely the image you see. Interestingly, some of the first automobiles were electric cars - born a good 20 years before the Model T debuted. In 1888, the first production electric car rolled off the line, complete with rechargeable batteries.
At the time, electric cars seemed like the way forward. They were quiet, fast, and easy to drive - internal combustion engines were loud, dirty, and lacked power and ease. Really, it wasn’t until the electric starter was invented in 1912 that the fate of the electric car would be sealed away, at least for another hundred years. Now, it’s anyone’s guess what the future holds.
