The history of electric cars predates our most common internal combustion engine-
powered cars. Jedlik ányos, the Hungarian inventor and engineer of the father of DC
motors, first tested the electromagnetic rotating mobile device in the laboratory in
1828. American Thomas Davenport Thomas Davenport manufactured the first electric car
driven by a DC motor in 1834. In 1837, Thomas obtained the first patent in the US motor
industry. Between 1832 and 1838, Robert Anderson, a Scot, invented the electrically
driven carriage, which was a vehicle driven by a non-rechargeable primary battery. In
1838, Robert Davidson, a Scot, invented an electrically driven train. The tram that
still runs on the road today is a patent that appeared in Britain in 1840.
The history of battery electric vehicles. The world’s first electric car was born in
1881. The inventor was French engineer Gustave Trouvé. This was a tricycle powered by
lead-acid batteries; and in 1873, it was created by the British Robert Davidson’s
electric vehicle invented by using primary batteries as power is not included in the
scope of international recognition. Later, lead-acid batteries, nickel-cadmium
batteries, nickel-hydrogen batteries, lithium-ion batteries, and fuel cells appeared as
electricity.
