Electric cars are a very, very promising type of vehicle, for which the future. But!
From history it is known that the electric car is not the technology of the future, it is from the past. This may seem surprising, but automobiles on an electric motor preceded automobiles with an internal combustion engine. The driving force of electrical energy began to be used on vehicles in 1812, when the Slovak-Hungarian priest Anjos Dzhedlik built the first crude but viable electric motor and put it in a tiny car. A few years later, in 1935, Professor Sibrandus Stratingh from the Netherlands built a small electric car, and Robert Anderson from Scotland was an electric locomotive. Moreover, in 1838, the electric locomotive of Robert Davidson “raced” with a speed of 4 miles per hour or 6 km per hour.
In 1940, in England, a patent was issued on the use of rails as a conductor of electricity. Electromotive engines were used to transport coal from mines, so as not to burn precious oxygen when using a conventional engine. The rapid electrification of railways in Switzerland was caused by the lack of fossil resources there. In 1900, 28% of cars on US roads were electric. They became so popular that President Wilson and his undercover agents toured Washington on electric cars.
A number of events contributed to the decline of electric vehicles. This is the cost of improving a large pavement area, as well as the discovery of large oil reserves in Texas, Oklahoma and California, which led to the easy availability of gasoline, making cars on internal combustion engines cheaper, more profitable. Electric cars of those times could not compete with a lighter and more powerful, more passable cars on internal combustion engines.
Until humanity has reached the required level of development in order to massively produce inexpensive, affordable and high-quality electric cars. Thus, over the years, and perhaps decades, electric cars are indeed capable of completely displacing machines with internal combustion engines. Moreover, for now, this is, if not utopia, then just a developing industry.
