When it comes to the development of new energy vehicles, batteries are indispensable. As early as 1799, Volt made the world's first battery from metal and brine. Time is up 182 1. Faraday discovered electromagnetic induction, which transformed electric energy into kinetic energy and laid the foundation for the development of electric vehicles. Six years after Faraday discovered electromagnetic induction, the Hungarian scientist Anjos Jedlik, the father of DC motor, made the world's first DC motor and installed it on a board to drive the wheels to test the electromagnetic rotating device.
After that, many inventors began to develop electric vehicles. American Thomas Davenport made the first DC electric car in 1834.
From 1832 to 1838, robert anderson, Scotland, installed batteries and motors on the carriage and transformed it into an electric carriage. 1873, an Englishman Robert Davidson invented an electric car driven by disposable batteries, which became the first available electric car in the world. However, due to other reasons such as being unable to charge, it missed the title of the world's first electric vehicle. ? The world's first electric vehicle to go down in history is a rechargeable three-wheeled electric vehicle powered by lead-acid batteries, which was manufactured by French engineer Gustav Truff in 188 1 year. This car only weighs 160 kg, and its top speed can reach12 km/h.
It was not until 1886 that Karl Benz invented the car powered by internal combustion engine. At this time, the development of electric vehicles has been half a century.
1900, of the 4,200 cars sold in Europe and America, 40% were steam locomotives, 38% were electric cars, and the last 22% were fuel cars. It can be seen that in those days, fuel vehicles were still in a backward stage and did not dominate the automobile market as it is now.
1899, Ferdinand porsche, the father of Porsche, invented the hub motor, which replaced the chain drive which was widely used in automobiles at that time. And the Lohner-Porsche electric vehicle is developed, which uses lead-acid battery as the power source and is directly driven by the hub motor in the front wheel. Subsequently, Ferdinand porsche put two hub motors on the rear wheel of Lohner-Porsche, and the world's first four-wheel drive electric vehicle was born.
1902, in ferdinand porsche, an in-wheel motor driven by an internal combustion engine was added, and the world's first hybrid vehicle was born. At the same time, he also developed the first multifunctional full hybrid vehicle-Semper? Long live.
I didn't expect Porsche to make a fortune by electric cars.
At the beginning of the 20th century, with the rapid development of internal combustion engine technology and the development of Texas Petroleum, coupled with the backward development of electric vehicles and steam vehicles, fuel vehicles began to dominate the automobile market.
In 1970s, the Middle East oil crisis broke out, and the whole world fell into the predicament of oil shortage. At this point, automobile manufacturers began to develop electric vehicles, and the development of electric vehicles that have been sleeping for half a century began to recover.
1990 at the los Angeles auto show in June, the president of general motors introduced the Impact pure electric vehicle to the world.
However, due to the lagging development of battery technology, there is no big breakthrough. Automobile manufacturers began to develop hybrid vehicles, and our common PHEV plug-in hybrid vehicles and HEV hybrid vehicles were born.
1996 RAV4LEV for Toyota nickel-hydrogen battery, 1996 Clio for Renault, France,? 1997 Toyota Prius hybrid car rolled off the assembly line, 1997 Nissan produced the world's first electric grassland? Joy？ EV .
In recent years, with the breakthrough of battery technology and the support of national policies, many excellent electric vehicle brands have been born at home and abroad, and traditional automobile manufacturers have also launched excellent electric vehicles. Now the market of electric vehicles is very good, but there are still some technical problems in electric vehicles. I believe that in the near future, electric vehicles will once again dominate the automobile market.
