In short, an electric vehicle is a vehicle that is driven by electricity and uses electricity as its energy source. The first electric car was built in 1834 and was driven by a DC motor. Today, electric vehicles have changed dramatically and come in many different types.
Development
The early invention of electric vehicles predates the most common internal combustion engine-powered cars we have today. The Hungarian inventor and engineer Anyos Jedlik, the father of the DC motor, first tested an electromagnetic rotating mobile device in the laboratory in 1828. American Thomas Davenport built the first DC motor-driven electric car in 1834. In 1837, Thomas received the first patent in the American motor industry. Between 1832 and 1838, Scotsman Robert Anderson invented the electric carriage, a vehicle powered by a primary battery that could not be recharged. In 1838 Scotsman Robert Davidson invented the electric train. The tram that is still running on the road today was patented in England in 1840. The history of battery electric vehicles. The world's first electric car was born in 1881. The inventor was French engineer Gustave Truve. It was a three-wheeled vehicle powered by lead-acid batteries. In 1873, it was used by Englishman Robert Davidson. Electric vehicles invented using primary batteries as power are not included in the scope of international recognition. Later, lead-acid batteries, nickel-cadmium batteries, nickel-metal hydride batteries, lithium-ion batteries, and fuel cells appeared as electricity.
