Back In Time- Electric Vehicles Throughout History
Electric vehicles have gained prominence over the last few years, with an estimated one in seven cars in Scotland now electric as the nation moves towards a greener future for motoring. However, they are not as new a concept as they appear, which is why we have created a timeline showing the history of EVs.
With a century behind them, electric vehicles have been around for longer than you think. As early as 1832, inventors began creating electric prototypes in a bid to improve transport.
From the first crude electric car built by Scottish inventor Robert Anderson right up to the increasingly modern, tech savvy vehicles we see on our roads today, the journey towards electric motoring has been a long one and there remains room for improvement.
As one of the most popular topics of discussion within the automotive industry today, it may be useful to know just how far these vehicles have come- right from the beginning to the latest models we see entering the market.
Whether you’re a history buff or just want to know more, we think you’ll find our timeline a handy guide to expand your knowledge!
