RE: Misconception: Electric Cars Started to Appear Just Recently
I did know about electric cars, pre 1900's, but what a fantastic article it!
Thanks for posting, its great to see people who share my interest in the electric car.
I often think about what we would have now if there was 100 years of development of EV's.
The Nickel-Iron battery was fitted to edisons electric cars and they actually improve over time and last for decades.
If we would have discovered oil in 1900 the course of history would have been completely different. We would most likely stay on electric cars. I can only imagine what kind of batteries we would have by now.
