 American History

Did you know that in 1884 the first production standard electric car capable of reproducing and selling to the public was introduced? Did you know that in the early 20th century, 1/3 of all vehicles in circulation were electric? They began to disappear rapidly around 1920 with the introduction of gasoline and Henry Ford.

Ferdinand Porsche, founder of the sports car of the same name, produced an electric vehicle called 'P' in 1898, before creating the world's first hybrid offering, which ran on both electricity and a combustion engine.

Mercedes-Benz also offered an electric model called the Mercedes Mixte, in 1906. This car was adopted as a taxi in cities and even became a race car in 1907.

We're almost seeing the reincarnation of old technology. The first photo is a group of electric trucks in operation in the UK plugged in 1917.
