Answers
and used for control pollution
Possibly in 1834, Robert Anderson of Scotland created the first electric carriage. The following year, a small electric car was built by the team of Professor Stratingh of Groningen, Holland and his assisstant, Chistopher Becker. More practical electric vehicles were brought onto the road by both American Thomas Davenport (1802-1851) and Scotsman Robert Davidson (1804-1894) circa 1842. Both of these inventors introduced non-rechargeable electric cells in the electric car.
The Parsian engineer Charles Jentaud fitted a carriage with an electric motor in 1881. William Edward Ayrton and John Perry, professors at the London's City and Guilds Institute, began road trials with tricycle in 1882; three years later a battery driven electric cab serviced Brighton. Aound 1900, internal combustion engines were only one of thee copeting technologies for propelling cars. Steam engines were used, while electric vehicles were clean, quiet and did'nt smell. In the United Staes of America, electric cabs dominated in major cities for several years.
The electric vehicles did not fail because of the limited range of batteries or their weight. Historian Michael Schiffer and other maintain, rather, that failed bussiness strategies were more important. Thus, most motor cars in twentieth century relied on internal combustion, except for niche applications such as urban deliveries. At the end of the century, after several efforts from small manufactures, General Motors made available an all electric vehicle called EV1 from 1996 to 2003. In the late 1990s, Toyota and Honda introduced hybrid vehicles combining internal combustion engines and batteries.
