In 1900 Electric Vehicles Reigned and Edison Charged Them!

The sudden rush of electric vehicle (or “EV”) developments — from new models being introduced, to breakthroughs in battery technology, to sleek new EV chargers — makes what seems like futuristic technology suddenly within reach of everyday drivers. But the truth is that today’s EV headlines could be ripped from a newspaper in 1900.

It’s hard to believe, but 38 percent of vehicles in the U.S. were electric in that year; 40 percent were steam powered and only 22 percent used gasoline. There was even a fleet of electric taxis in New York City.

But between the limited range of EVs and a lack of infrastructure to support recharging, the market was crying for a new and cheaper source of auto power, and that came in the form of the internal combustion, gasoline-powered engine. Check out our photo gallery below to see just what cutting-edge EV technology looked like back in Thomas Edison’s day.

I had no idea Cecil. Very interesting link. Yes the infernal combustion engine.

Wild rant James, you draw some galaxy sided dots and connect them. Spontaneously.

Ten four I am saving a lot of money on my Rx's since I found out everything I need is already in my drinking water.

Anti depressants, anti psychotics, anti biotics and Atrazine, it is all in there. And if you are a resident of the black neighborhoods in Washington DC you will also get some lead. Not enough to do any harm just enough to shield you from gamma rays.

Lordy I miss the good olds when we used to get free Strontium 90 in our milk

Sorry Cecil
there I go again.
