i love how i'm always learning something new here!!!

The vehicle shown was the Electrobat IV, displayed in Chicago during preparations for America's first horseless contrivance race. This contest occurred Thanksgiving Day, 1895. The Taxicab efforts came a few years later. By 1904, more Americans got their first ride in a horseless carriage by using an electric Hansom Cab!

People forget how commonplace Electric Cars were in the early 20th century, Tesla etc. isn't some hot new idea, its just businessman reviving a technology that died out under a century ago.

Detroit is called the motor city and people assume that mean petrol but it doesn't it means electric motors as that was the product of choice for them and that was what they were producing, later on petrol engines came around and replaced them but Detroit isn't known as the "engine city"

That’s pretty cool they had an electric taxi that early.

In? You mean on?

Imagine that the cost more and had a vastly shorter range. "Those who don't study history are doomed to repeat it."😅

Oh you oil companies.

Cool vídeo

You learn something new everyday. (I Bet Schools hasn't taught people this sort of History)

Those taxis were also used in London and Paris.

Nice

Found even earlier electric cars, 1830s and backwards. Each car ran up to 1200 miles on single charge, put today’s cars to shame really. Babcock was the first electric car company, or one of the first

Why is there NO information in this article?

Wow

Cool

I can confirm all of this its a little sad secret of the city that it nearly as electric before the advent of the 19th century

Wow, i never knew cars were invwnted this early

memes ride the dankexpress yeah, it's just it wasn't really known until after World War 2, since the inventor was Jewish, the Nazis wanted to hide all evidence that the guy made it, luckily some people hid the original car the inventor made, and the car is now on display at a museum.

Electric vehicles were cheaper than the combustion ones and the range at the time was exactly the same! Plus the combustion engines required huge physical effort to turn on and were ALWAYS breaking down, unlike the electric ones! The reason they were discontinued was certainly not the cost! It was because electricity at the time was available only in large cities, whilst you could power a combustion car anywhere reachable by a truck with a gasoline load!

The Ford ICE vehicles were $500 cf EVs that cost between $1,500 & $4,000. Leaks from the lead-acid and nickel-iron batteries meant these EVs were much more expensive to maintain than the ICE vehicles.

If this idea were further developed the world perhaps would be quite different. There is still time tough.

Add this to rdr2

wish the video covered a bit more technical side and how it was used on rainy days etc.

Imagine how the semiconductor industry would have progressed if we would have had electric vehicles as the standard for now over 100 years... Fuck.

But was it better than tesla?
