In this graphic, we're focusing on those automobiles which were designed, from the ground up, to be powered by electricity only. 1891 Holer Cabot Amaico Plo MA 1900 tlece Compony 1832-1930 Many claim to be the inventor of the electric car, but there are reports that sometime between 1832 and l1839, the first car powered by batteries hit the streets of Scotland. The unreliable Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) and the cost of gasoline gave electric vehicles the advantage. By 1900, 28% of the autos in the U.S. are electric.

The Arab Oil Embargo, as well as Congressional bills aimed at curbing pollution levels and foreign oil dependency, sparked renewed interest in electric vehicles in the mid 1970s. However, battery technology lagged far behind the goals of electric vehicle manufacturers, seriously impeding their ability to create vehicles with mass appeal. Gasoline was expensive, but electric vehicles had limited range and toolt too long to recharge. 1974 CisCar SPRw ntc.

Several models were introduced in 1997 by major automobile brands, and while they gained popularity and cult status, most were phased out due to high maintenance costs as well as continued gains were made to lCE vehicle's mileage. At the end of the 20th century, America's taste for large SUVS grew, even as the price of fuel crept higher. Advances in battery technology allowed for smaller automobile manufacturers to take the lead in electric car development, and vehicles with improved performance and ranges are starting to appear on the streets. While most domestic manufacturers are developing hybrid technologies, foreign auto makers are readying several all-electric models for mass production. 2011 Aptera e Apte Motors V CA 20 mph/max. 100mile ma 20k syte 2011 Rte darrighe Subanu Motors apon Leal Nsan Moor Apen ph/max, 100mlemaange 20kym mph/max S0mlemax ange kw ystem IMiev Miubis Monors.

Thus, hybrid technology vehicles are currently being prepared for delivery to the public by most auto manufacturers. Typicaly, hybrid vehicles are powered by electrical motors that initially run from current stored in on-board batteries. When the charge in the batteries is depleted, a small ICE is activated (fueled by gasoline, ethanol, hydrogen, etc.) which supplies current to drive the electric motor as well as recharge the batteries. Hybrid technology provides unlimited driving range, better performance then most of today's electric vehicles, greatly improved emissions, as well as effective mileages well over 100 mpg. Hybrid vehicles will allow the auto manufacturing industry - as well as the gasoline supply and delivery infrastructure - a bridge between old carbon-based fuels and newer, altermative fuel technologies. power elecmotor.
