History of electric vehicles
Electric car - a car that is driven by an electric motor powered by batteries. Cartage of electric vehicles is the vehicle.
Even back in 1841 for 19 years before the invention of the internal combustion engine has its first electric car, which was a truck with an electric motor. Romanov Hippolytus was the first engineer inventor who in 1899 invented the electric cab resembling English. This double of electric vehicles front wheels slightly larger rear. With a capacity of 4 horse power, he accelerated to 37.4 kilometers per hour. Electric vehicle invented by Russian nobleman could drive about 64 km, then the batteries are discharged.In the same 1899 was invented in France La Jamais Contente - electric, first overcame the barrier of 100 km / h Body of the car was a torpedo, which was placed on the frame. Used two 50-kW electric motor mounted on the rear wheels. The location of the driver and open the chassis spoil the aerodynamic properties, but that did not stop the car accelerate to 105.8 km / h
But some inventors have relied not on speed, but on the path traversed by an electric car. For example, the firm's engineers "Borland Electric" invented cars drove 167 miles without charging, and when fully charged electric car back to the starting point.
While fuel consumption in internal combustion engines and discharging of the batteries in electric vehicles on the same distance was about the same. But cars with internal combustion engine electric vehicles pushed into the background because of the complexity of charging their batteries.
1960 was a year of revival of electric vehicles, this is due to the emergence of various environmental movements, and the fuel crisis. But the interest in electric cars soon asleep again because of the advancement of the oil market in 1982.
As a result of fuel price hike interest in electric increases again with renewed vigor. Almost all auto giants boast chic model with electric drive. In 2009, Russia invented solar electric. In the daytime, it can be recharged by solar panels located on the hood, and at night it can be recharged from the mains.
Currently, designers are trying to achieve great results in improving the batteries. No Noise, non-polluting electric car harmful substances is undoubtedly the perfect vehicle of the future.
