CARS.EDU.VN dives deep into the history of electric cars, offering insights and analysis for auto enthusiasts and those seeking reliable information. Explore the evolution of this technology and discover valuable automotive knowledge.
1. The Genesis of Electric Cars
It’s not possible to credit one person or country with inventing the electric car. Instead, the first electric vehicle came to be as a result of a number of advances in the 1800s, from the battery to the electric motor.
Innovators in Hungary, the Netherlands, and the United States began experimenting with the idea of a battery-powered vehicle in the early part of the century, including a blacksmith from Vermont. They also created some of the first small-scale electric vehicles. At about the same period, Robert Anderson, a British inventor, created the first rudimentary electric carriage. However, it wasn’t until the second half of the 19th century that French and English inventors created some of the first useful electric vehicles.
William Morrison, a chemist from Des Moines, Iowa, debuted the first successful electric vehicle in the United States around 1890. His six-passenger car, which had a peak speed of 14 mph, was essentially an electrified wagon. Nevertheless, it generated interest in electric vehicles.
Electric vehicles from various automakers started to appear all over the United States over the course of the next several years. New York City even had more than sixty electric taxis in its fleet. Electric vehicles were at their height around 1900, accounting for around one-third of all vehicles on the road. They continued to post impressive sales figures over the following ten years.
2. Early Rise and Fall of Electric Cars
It’s important to comprehend the development of the personal vehicle and the other options available in order to grasp the appeal of electric vehicles around 1900. The horse was still the primary mode of transportation at the turn of the 20th century. However, as Americans grew more affluent, they turned to the newly invented motor vehicle, which was available in steam, gasoline, or electric variants, for transportation.
Having shown to be dependable for powering factories and trains, steam was a tried-and-true energy source. The first self-propelled vehicles in the late 1700s were powered by steam; however, it wasn’t until the 1870s that the technology gained traction in automobiles. This is partly because steam wasn’t very useful for personal vehicles. Steam vehicles needed a long startup period, sometimes up to 45 minutes in the cold, and they would need to be refilled with water, which would reduce their range.
As electric vehicles entered the market, so did a new type of vehicle: the gasoline-powered car. This was made possible by developments to the internal combustion engine in the 1800s. Although gasoline vehicles looked promising, they did have certain drawbacks. They needed a lot of manual work to operate; changing gears was not easy, and they needed to be started with a hand crank, which made them challenging for some people to operate. Furthermore, they were loud and had an offensive exhaust.
Electric cars lacked any of the issues that were linked to steam or gasoline. They were silent, simple to operate, and didn’t emit any odorous pollutants like the other vehicles of the day. Urban dwellers, especially women, quickly embraced electric vehicles. They were ideal for quick city trips, and the bad road conditions outside of cities meant that few vehicles of any kind could go further. As more people gained access to electricity in the 1910s, charging electric vehicles grew simpler, which increased their appeal to individuals from all walks of life. A 1911 New York Times article even noted that some of the “best known and prominent makers of gasoline cars” were among those who drove electric vehicles.
Many innovators of the time recognized the high demand for electric vehicles and looked for ways to improve the technology. For example, Ferdinand Porsche, founder of the sports car company by the same name, developed an electric car called the P1 in 1898. Around the same time, he created the world’s first hybrid electric car — a vehicle that is powered by electricity and a gas engine. Thomas Edison, one of the world’s most prolific inventors, thought electric vehicles were the superior technology and worked to build a better electric vehicle battery. According to Wired, Henry Ford, who was friends with Edison, even partnered with Edison to explore options for a low-cost electric car in 1914.
The Model T, which Henry Ford mass-produced, was a major factor in the demise of the electric car. The Model T, which debuted in 1908, made gasoline-powered automobiles widely accessible and reasonably priced. By 1912, a gasoline car cost just $650, while an electric roadster cost $1,750. The same year, Charles Kettering unveiled the electric starter, doing away with the need for the hand crank and boosting sales of gasoline-powered cars.
Other developments also contributed to the decline of the electric vehicle. By the 1920s, the U.S. had a better system of roads connecting cities, and Americans wanted to get out and explore. With the discovery of Texas crude oil, gas became cheap and readily available for rural Americans, and filling stations began popping up across the country. In comparison, very few Americans outside of cities had electricity at that time. In the end, electric vehicles all but disappeared by 1935.
3. Gas Shortages Spark Interest in Electric Vehicles
Electric vehicles went through a sort of dark age for the next 30 years or so, with little technological advancement. Demand for alternative fuel vehicles was hampered by low, plentiful gasoline and ongoing advancements in the internal combustion engine.
Let’s leap forward to the late 1960s and early 1970s. Growing interest in reducing the U.S.’s reliance on foreign oil and discovering domestic fuel sources was sparked by rising oil prices and gasoline shortages, which peaked with the 1973 Arab Oil Embargo. Congress took notice and passed the Electric and Hybrid Vehicle Research, Development, and Demonstration Act of 1976, giving the Energy Department the authority to fund research and development in electric and hybrid vehicles.
Around this same period, a number of large and small automakers started looking into possibilities for alternative fuel vehicles, such as electric cars. For example, General Motors displayed a prototype for an urban electric car at the Environmental Protection Agency’s First Symposium on Low Pollution Power Systems Development in 1973, and the American Motor Company produced electric delivery jeeps that the United States Postal Service used in a 1975 test program. NASA also helped raise the profile of the electric vehicle when its electric Lunar rover became the first manned vehicle to drive on the moon in 1971.
However, the vehicles created and produced in the 1970s still had drawbacks when compared to gasoline-powered cars. During this period, electric vehicles had poor performance, usually topping out at 45 mph, and their typical range was only 40 miles before needing to be recharged.
4. Environmental Concern Drives Electric Vehicles Forward
Let’s leap forward once more, this time to the 1990s. Following the lengthy gas lines of the 1970s, interest in electric vehicles had mostly waned in the 20 years that followed. However, new federal and state regulations are beginning to alter things. The passage of the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendment and the 1992 Energy Policy Act, as well as new transportation emissions regulations issued by the California Air Resources Board, helped to revive interest in electric vehicles in the United States.
During this period, automakers started turning some of their well-known car types into electric vehicles. This meant that electric vehicles now attained speeds and performance levels that were substantially closer to those of gasoline-powered vehicles, and many of them had a range of 60 miles.
GM’s EV1, which was heavily featured in the 2006 documentary Who Killed the Electric Car?, was one of the most well-known electric vehicles of this time. GM created and built the EV1 from the ground up, rather than simply modifying an existing vehicle. With an 80-mile range and the ability to accelerate from 0 to 50 mph in just seven seconds, the EV1 quickly amassed a devoted fanbase. However, the EV1 was never financially viable due to expensive production costs, and GM stopped producing it in 2001.
Many consumers weren’t concerned about fuel-efficient vehicles because of the booming economy, expanding middle class, and low gas prices of the late 1990s. Even though electric vehicles did not receive much public attention at the time, scientists and engineers, supported by the Energy Department, were working behind the scenes to enhance electric vehicle technology, especially batteries.
5. A New Beginning for Electric Cars
While all the starts and stops of the electric vehicle industry in the second half of the 20th century helped show the world the promise of the technology, the true revival of the electric vehicle didn’t happen until around the start of the 21st century. Depending on whom you ask, it was one of two events that sparked the interest we see today in electric vehicles.
Many people believe that the introduction of the Toyota Prius was the first turning point. The Prius, which was introduced in Japan in 1997, was the first mass-produced hybrid electric car in the world. The Prius was released globally in 2000, and it quickly became a hit with celebrities, which helped to boost the car’s visibility. Toyota employed a nickel metal hydride battery, a technology supported by the Energy Department’s research, to make the Prius a reality. Since then, rising gasoline prices and growing concern about carbon pollution have helped make the Prius the best-selling hybrid worldwide during the past decade.
(Historical footnote: Before the Prius could be introduced in the U.S., Honda released the Insight hybrid in 1999, making it the first hybrid sold in the U.S. since the early 1900s.)
The announcement in 2006 that Tesla Motors, a small Silicon Valley startup, would begin producing a luxury electric sports car capable of traveling more than 200 miles on a single charge was the other event that contributed to the reshaping of electric vehicles. In 2010, Tesla received a $465 million loan from the Department of Energy’s Loan Programs Office—a loan that Tesla repaid a full nine years early—to establish a manufacturing facility in California. Tesla has garnered widespread acclaim for its automobiles and has risen to become the largest auto industry employer in California in the brief period since then.
Tesla’s announcement and subsequent success spurred many big automakers to accelerate work on their own electric vehicles. In late 2010, the Chevy Volt and the Nissan LEAF were released in the U.S. market. The Volt, the first commercially available plug-in hybrid, has a gasoline engine that supplements its electric drive once the battery is depleted, allowing consumers to drive on electric for most trips and gasoline to extend the vehicle’s range. In comparison, the LEAF is an all-electric vehicle (often called a battery-electric vehicle, an electric vehicle or just an EV for short), meaning it is only powered by an electric motor.
Over the next few years, other automakers began rolling out electric vehicles in the U.S.; yet, consumers were still faced with one of the early problems of the electric vehicle — where to charge their vehicles on the go. Through the Recovery Act, the Energy Department invested more than $115 million to help build a nation-wide charging infrastructure, installing more than 18,000 residential, commercial and public chargers across the country. Automakers and other private businesses also installed their own chargers at key locations in the U.S., bringing today’s total of public electric vehicle chargers to more than 8,000 different locations with more than 20,000 charging outlets.
At the same time, new battery technology — supported by the Energy Department’s Vehicle Technologies Office — began hitting the market, helping to improve a plug-in electric vehicle’s range. In addition to the battery technology in nearly all of the first generation hybrids, the Department’s research also helped develop the lithium-ion battery technology used in the Volt. More recently, the Department’s investment in battery research and development has helped cut electric vehicle battery costs by 50 percent in the last four years, while simultaneously improving the vehicle batteries’ performance (meaning their power, energy and durability). This in turn has helped lower the costs of electric vehicles, making them more affordable for consumers.
Consumers now have more choices than ever when it comes to buying an electric vehicle. Today, there are 23 plug-in electric and 36 hybrid models available in a variety of sizes — from the two-passenger Smart ED to the midsized Ford C-Max Energi to the BMW i3 luxury SUV. As gasoline prices continue to rise and the prices on electric vehicles continue to drop, electric vehicles are gaining in popularity — with more than 234,000 plug-in electric vehicles and 3.3 million hybrids on the road in the U.S. today.
6. The Future of Electric Cars
It’s hard to tell where the future will take electric vehicles, but it’s clear they hold a lot of potential for creating a more sustainable future. If we transitioned all the light-duty vehicles in the U.S. to hybrids or plug-in electric vehicles using our current technology mix, we could reduce our dependence on foreign oil by 30-60 percent, while lowering the carbon pollution from the transportation sector by as much as 20 percent.
To help reach these emissions savings, in 2012 President Obama launched the EV Everywhere Grand Challenge — an Energy Department initiative that brings together America’s best and brightest scientists, engineers and businesses to make plug-in electric vehicles more as affordable as today’s gasoline-powered vehicles by 2022. On the battery front, the Department’s Joint Center for Energy Storage Research at Argonne National Laboratory is working to overcome the biggest scientific and technical barriers that prevent large-scale improvements of batteries.
And the Department’s Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) is advancing game-changing technologies that could alter how we think of electric vehicles. From investing in new types of batteries that could go further on a single charge to cost-effective alternatives to materials critical to electric motors, ARPA-E’s projects could transform electric vehicles.
In the end, only time will tell what road electric vehicles will take in the future.
