How Have Cars Developed Over The Last 100 Years?
The first vehicles powered by electricity were introduced in the 1890's. They were developed on a large scale in France and the United Kingdom. In 1899, the La Jamais Contente, a racing car powered by electricity and designed by Camille Jenatzy, set the world record for being the fastest vehicle on land by travelling at a speed of 68 miles per hour.
In 1891, AL Ryker built an electric tricycle and William Morrison built a wagon that could accommodate six passengers. In 1897, the Electric Carriage and Wagon Company, based in Philadelphia, built a fleet of taxicabs that plied across New York City. In 1902, Woods invented Phaeton and then followed up that invention in 1916 a hybrid car that had both an internal combustion engine as well as an electric motor. The improvised versions of the earliest prototypes of electric cars were invented in the subsequent years.
Between the 1930's and 1960's, electric cars were gradually on the decline and the era of such vehicles that ran on alternative sources of fuel had begun. In the 1990's several models of electric vehicles were introduced which had an alternative current motor and ran on sodium sulphur or lithium-ion batteries.
