Evehicles, first electric cars, the history of the electric car that killed the electric car
Since the invention of the first electric motor strong enough to do work in 1834 people have been dreaming of electric powered transportation electric cars, trains and trucks are older than most people think In this page, we are focusing on electric cars, but do discuss trains and trucks since their roots are connected.
This calendar not only includes historic electric cars in history, but the development of the key elements in the development of electric vehicles.
Galen Handy - expert in US electric car has prepared the following schedule and car descriptions.
1821 - Michael Faraday creates the first small experimental electromagnet.
In 1831 -Joseph Henry a math teacher in Albany NY, built the first electric motor in his quest to understand electromagnetism is modeled along the lines of “walking beam” used on early steam engines and looks like an electric slide.
1834 - Inspired by reading the efforts of Joseph Thomas Davenport Henry†develops the first rotary electric motor and built a miniature electric railcar running in a circle on a table; it is not strong enough to support the weight of its own battery His invention was not to interest investors This could be due to a lack of imagination among the audience, but people practical mind recalls the single battery dependence relatively expensive to use as rechargeable batteries or practices, or distributed electrical energy available, he created a proof of concept, which is usually ignored until after the civil war.
1851 - The US Senate finance a prototype electric locomotive, which was a test from Washington DC to Baltimore MD, a distance of about 40 miles 64 km Charles Grafton Page, US patent examiner, he designs and uses Washington connections for obtaining funds the engine was as an electric steam engine with a magnet stopper and iron rather than a cylinder and piston effort fails when the clay separators in the cells of the main battery crack and coils overheating and shorting the vapor fails insulation remains practical for large-scale power at this stage.
1854 †Wilhelm J Sinsteden invents the rechargeable battery, lead, sulfuric acid and lead oxide battery.
1859 - Gaston PlantГ improves lead-acid cell to the point of commercial viability with the use of the telegraph system in mind PlantГ The original design was untreated smooth lead plates separated by parchment paper and felt that they had to be recharged cycled several times before building enough peroxide coating on the positive plate to develop the total usable capacity.
1869 - patents Zénobe Gramme-Theophile the first dynamo practice in Paris.
1876 - Nikolaus Otto in August patents a practical four-stroke engine, designed for stationary use in Germany The engine is made to work with the help of his engineer Gottlieb Daimler.
1880 †17th January Thomas Alva Edison receives a tube bulb vacuum carbon-filament incandescent light this patent becomes popular over the next three decades as lamps become more affordable commercial production and distribution of electricity for lighting and light rail, built the necessary infrastructure for electric cars Edison struggled to clear patent rights, and possibly the strongest applicants merged to become General electric.
A 1881 †Camille Faure, France, and Charles F Brush, the United States, come independently with the idea of using a lead oxide paste to increase the battery capacity Plantà 1859 original by capacity triple, greatly increases the potential for traction vehicles of the battery, if the dough remain on Charles Jeantaud plates built a battery electric vehicle in France the car was manufactured from a Tilbury style buggy with a motor Fulmen gram and a battery during the next twelve years, he continued to edit this platform, the installation of a British engine in 1887, and a Swiss motor with a tubular plate battery built by Tonate Thommasi in 1893.
1883 - the electric railway Brighton, designed by Magnus Volk, opens in England The road is only a mile long of the first quarter This is the first commercial electric streetcar.
1886 - N S Possons has an electric tricycle built for electric brush Co. of Cleveland, Ohio It has an electric light bulb Swan and has a rechargeable battery supplying the motor Company†brush brush.
Above Frank Sprague, pioneer carts and electric cars.
1886 - Frank Sprague invented a DC traction motor high torque is capable of constant speed under varying loads and does not create sparks.
1887 - Sprague uses its DC motor in the first commercial electric streetcar systems in North America, beginning with Richmond in Virginia.
1890 †William Morrison built the first electric road vehicle four-wheel drive in America to demonstrate its battery.
1893 †World†The Columbian Exposition held in Chicago IL, paving the way for the electric age for most Americans There are many motor vehicles on the fixed display comprising an electric taxi designed by Walter Bersey and some gasoline vehicles the German car Morrison, now owned by the American battery Co, is the only move he became well known as it is used to direct important visitors - including many future car manufacturers - around the grounds.
1894 - Henry G Morris and Pedro G Salom Philadelphia were the designers of trams battery and saw the potential to electrify smaller road vehicles They design and control a heavy electric trolley wheel drive like the car Morrison It works 15 mph.
1895 - Morris tightly Electric Storage Battery Company later linked BSE Exide provided batteries in many cases, these purchases are equity swaps where a majority owner of the original company became a minority owner of the conglomerate swollen The brief game of the holding company is the monopoly industry sector on the basis of the consolidation of patents and exclusive franchises.
1902 - Things are already falling apart to lead cabins are much more successful men who run holding companies and operating companies to sell their products and sold more entries than the craziest success would have justified Although the New York taxi company and vehicle manufacturing companies are profitable, and more operating value liquidated, the taxi company failed in most other cities after 1899, the Electrical Vehicle Company does not pay their obligations to preferred dividends, much less return of a dividend on ordinary shares many of the original partners, as the Pope, rice and Riker sold earlier - were pushed to a degree - and later left investors holding a little empty bag apparently fraudulent This system gives a good blow to the concept of electric vehicles in the minds of the inv estisseurs and customers.
The Baker Motor Vehicle Co produces a fully streamlined electric race car called the Torpedo, with a so-called top speed 120 mph when he crashed and killed two spectators in his first speed test, press to speed contests and vehicles Power took a negative turn.
1903 †For Walter C Baker, it is not the top speed, it's about efficiency The following year, he built the Baker Torpedo Kid; it is a vehicle of a person, smaller and much lighter than the 12 HP Torpedo tandem seats Most racing car designers increase the power and speed of their cars to each new iteration Baker has different priorities The Kid motor has a nominal rating of 1½ HP Torpedo has not recorded time recorded over 80 MPH; The Kid is clocked at 103 Ormond Beach.
1905 - Rauch Duo with batteries nickel-cadmium and a gasoline 5-cylinder engine The vehicle never sees mainstream production.
1995 - Toyota debuted a hybrid concept car at the Tokyo Motor Show 1997 - The first Prius is on sale in the Japanese market 1997 - Audi Duo III creates and makes mass production 1998 - Nissan produces 200 of the Altra EV 1998 -2002.
2008 - Tesla Motors sells the Tesla Roadster with a range of 200 miles in 2009 - Ford Fusion Hybrid was released 2010 - Nissan Leaf electric car sold all synchronous electric motor used on the front axle 2010 - Mercedes-Benz Collaborates with Tesla Motor Company to produce the a-class E-Cell 2011 - Chevy Volt hybrid car sold in the US market range of 25-50 miles.
There are many ways to produce an electric car The subject of how electric cars is quite a work subject to an important series of web pages, so we will keep short here are some important points to understand.
Direct Drive - electric motor drives the wheels directly without transmission, this can be an effective and smooth to launch an electric car Read more.
In general, there are three types of electric motors used in electric cars.
3-phase AC induction motor - See our video here on the use of the Tesla of this type of motor DC permanent magnet motors - this engine uses brushes and is noisy, you will find them used in electric vehicles smaller as bicycles and carts DC series wound electric motors - which is the most commonly used in electric cars engine, they have a great couple and are quiet.

This is not a complete list of electric vehicles, but it covers some of the great icons of the history of the electric vehicle.
The Baker Motor Vehicle Company was based in Cleveland, Ohio, an automotive manufacturing center early in the second only to Detroit Baker has produced some of the best electric cars 1900-1916 The Baker family was joined at the hip with family white, generations that built sewing machine and motor vehicle Walter C Baker empires began the American Basketball bearing company with his brother-father Rollin Charles white and brother Fred white Baker automotive company was a spin-off from the roller ball and company axle, the latest management and an initial objective to demonstrate the effectiveness of their axles with ball bearings in 1910, companies were similar in size and occupied factories twins with a shared power plant Baker was one of the most innovative companies of electric cars and American ball Bearing was a pioneer in the axes steel vanadium.
electrical Cleveland history began in the 1870s with local pioneers Charles F Brush who created the first lighting of the city and the first power plants in North America for its larger arc lights for development of the electric car, and co-incident with Faure in Europe, he invented the cell capacity of the bonded lead-acid battery plate, which had three times a PlantГ improvement, and has a vehicle battery full size possible electric battery Storage Company purchased its General electric battery Patent others through Thomson-Huston such as dynamo, motor and switch gear, light arc, and the American license for the incandescent bulb Swan.
These photos are from what is probably 1907 Baker electric Initially we thought it was a 1901 Baker Electric because documents recording such a car in Rice EW General Electric, but under the seat there is a GE engine with a last date of patent in May 1903, so unless the engine is a replacement of the car is the latest serial number indicates that it is a first motor car in 1907 This could have been the second Baker that Rice had in six years is a reasonable time between new cars.
Above the engine under the seat, it is not obviously a direct drive electric cars with a direct drive require the engine is low, the wheels.
Below this electric Baker uses a single central axis chain drive.
The battery is at the front and rear of the car This battery is not original to the original battery was composed of individual cells lead acid fixed in wooden crates and wired in series.
Automobile 116324 Engine Number - Classification GE1020 E2W6 †26 Amps - 48 Volts - Speed 1980 RPM - patented July 9, 89, March 25, 90, July 8, 90, 10 November, 91, on 25 April, †92 22 October 95 on May 5, 96, 14 December 97 January 31 99, May 12, 1903 General Electric Co. in Schenectady, NYUSA This gives the engine a nominal power of 25 kW or 1 1 7 HP.
This is a battery charger GE Mercury Arc Rectifier made for home and small garage could use it to charge the battery for nearly all electric car or truck at prices up to 50 amps Edison was the first to notice 1880 a vacuum tube with a hot filament and an additional cold element functioned as a rectifier, not allowing the passage of current in one direction than the current capacity was very low, there was little practical relevance other than as a sensor radio Before a practice version of the mercury arc tube was made, most battery charging large expensive rotary converters needed, which are essentially a motor coupled to a dynamo components are mounted on a slate circuit board for the fire insulation.
VIDEO Power Used Car Charger for Baker Electric and Detroit Electric.
Professor Ferdinand Porsche, had an early interest in electric vehicles, an electrical engineer at the BГ Egger Electric Co and was commissioned to design an electric car to the coachbuilder Jacob Lohner with a relatively small engine that fires to full power , wide range, or to charge the battery.
One hundred years, both cars are on the market that make use of these technologies.
Woods is one of the first American electric car manufacturers, as well as Columbia, Baker, and Waverley; they have electric cars for sale in 1898 but a series hybrid truck prototype in 1899, they are not known for innovation, being one of the last to give up solid rubber tires and chain drive Shortly after Columbia Electrobat and Riker are swept into the bubble of the lead cab on the East coast, a large group of wealthy investors tried the same gambit with Woods in Chicago the bubble burst cabin shortly and Woods become an electric car company again, under a series of new owners.
The final act of Company†Woods is a hybrid designed by Roland S Fend in 1914-1915, and made from 1916 until the end of 1918 This is the most successful hybrid parallel twentieth century, having the advantage of not significant competition the initial version is called the model 44 Dual Power Coupà It is a four-seat car with an engine King 14 HP 4-cylinder coupled via an electromagnetic clutch to a 48 volt motor 20 connected HP a battery of cells 24 about half the size and weight of an electric battery of typical car the car could function together or separately on both engines when running at the speed of the gasoline engine alone, the windings field were tossed and the electric motor has become a dynamo, recharge the battery There is no plug-in option but regenerative braking is used when the brake pedal is partially ch ONCEE the first iteration has a 110” wheelbase and is rated at 20 MPH electric only and 35 MPH on both They claim that the car can get 48 mpg, the base price is 2650; metal wheels add 25, available in blue or green, custom colors add 100 in June 1917 an updated version is introduced called the Model 54. It gets a higher body, a Continental engine more powerful, and a new wheelbase Service 124 inches comprises an adjustable rainscreen this before the wiper of the windscreen, better lighting and a mirror that passes through the upper part of the windshield all control is by two small levers on the steering hub and one pedal now priced 2950 with wooden wheels January 23, 1919 list number motor Age “Woods dual Power” as one of the companies that is “definitely and permanently on business”.
The Magnetic is a petrol car with an electric transmission Owen This is a huge advantage before automatic transmissions are introduced in the 1930s.
Justus B Entz patented design, and the Pope Manufacturing Company in Hartford Connecticut built a prototype in 1898 Columbia Mk IX in 1907 Entz was vice president of the Electric Vehicle Co, which then owned Columbia and Columbia briefly a production model called the Mk MXLVI, sold in 1908 EVC Columbia was sold to new owners stopped production of electric vehicles in 1909 Entz wants royalty payments, so it stores patent around and in 1912 Walter Baker buys Baker rights and Entz both obtain patents for improvements on the Columbia release.
In 1914 Entz, still seeing no royalties, spoke Raymond Owen licensed rights, and has made cars in New York for a few years in December 1915, the recently merged Baker Rauch joint feasibility study of the hybrid vehicle funded US government GE and GE When the couldn t sell car for three major US automakers, they sold the Toyota made later technology in a cost-effective technology.
The 1982 vehicle has used a computer for controlling the motor and electrical system, which enabled cost savings as the braking system has to recharge the batteries This was possible because of the computer eventually becoming quite compact and powerful enough to work in a vehicle.
Toyota has acquired patents for modern hybrid electric car in the 1980s after General Electric failed to find sufficient interest on the US car market Toyota built on the design and development of the Toyota Prius, which has become the profitable first hybrid car in the history of the car has allowed the modern users to travel long distances with gasoline when electricity use around the city it was necessary because the urban planning has changed significantly from the first part of the century.
Tesla Motor Company has emerged in the late 2000s with high performance and high cost of electric cars The Roadster was based on the Lotus with an attractive sporty design It was not profitable but efficient, but Tesla Motors received a success with the model S the S model appeals to the masses with his design of the standard 4-door sedan and ease of use the S model is so far the most efficient electric car ever, and it outperforms internal combustion engines in the same class torque of high speed single Tesla beat powerful Mercedes and BMW in acceleration and stability.
Below we talk about phase 3, the electric motor 4 pole and the drive train in the model Tesla S.
In the next half, we discuss the batteries, range, load rate, body building and components Motors Tesla Model S.
History repeats itself, and again, we see the rise of electric vehicles on the mass market The Nissan Leaf, Chevy Volt and Honda Insight are all focused on the markets of the middle class and have proved successful with prices croissants many customers clearly see fuel cost savings.
Some of the disadvantages of electric vehicles is the high cost of replacement batteries and what to do with the highly toxic waste, long-term solution to this offer the EV power through the grid Provide grid for vehicles would be by far the most effective method of energy as it is proved by the existing lines aerial tramway bus in Europe, the cost of operating and consumption of energy is worth projects Google with self-driving cars can help the development of network-powered personal vehicles by allowing cars to control and spaced on a road regularly, it would make possible routes that act as between cars city train lines could connect to a third rail and move most miles without using batteries or fuel cells are smaller with time, and super SuperC ondensateurs can become an alternative to batteries together Andy Burke, one of the inventors of modern hybrid car tests many manufacturers supercapacitors, see here.
