Electric cars are nothing new. Interest in motor vehicles increased greatly around the 1900s and at that time there were about twice as many electric cars on the road than petrol/diesel cars. It wasn’t until the 1920s that interest in electric cars dwindled. The reason was that electric cars were limited by their low top speeds and low range (just a few miles). In addition, in 1912 the electric starter motor was developed for petrol cars, eliminating the traditional drawback of petrol cars: having to use a hand crank to get the car moving! It was Henry Ford who put the nail in the electric car coffin when his company began to mass-produce the Model T.
This slashed the price of petrol cars to about half that of an electric car and so in the early 1900s almost all electric car manufacturers began to cease making them. The limited maximum speed of electric cars (up to 30mph) limited their practicality. For most of the 20th century, British milk floats made up most of the world’s number of electric vehicles. Interest in electric cars returned following the energy crises of the 1970s and 80s; with the availability and price of oil being shown to be increasingly volatile, people could see the potential benefits of battery-powered cars. A few big car companies brought out models and some were sold to environmentally-minded members of the public. However, in General Electric vehicles were still losing out to the style and lower price of their petrol-fuelled cousins.
2000S In the 2000s, the development of hybrid vehicles, plus another fuel crisis, saw the technology adopted by larger numbers than ever before. Tesla’s Roadster, which went on sale in 2008, was a game changer for the industry. The attractive design and extended range of the Roadster appealed to a larger market than ever before and encouraged competitors such as Nissan and Chevrolet to launch their own models.
