Start of the electric vehicles goes back in 1830’s. It’s very symptomatic, so many years passed by and there were no real revolution at everyday exploitation. Other vehicles, running on motors with internal combustion despite their negative impact to environment got their enormous success, making our modern life dependable upon various vehicles with internal combustion motors. They got great moving span and very easy refueling. On the other hand they produce such negative environment impact that got mankind to think how to reduce them.

First electric vehicles used elemental batteries non rechargeable, with considerable weight and dimensions. Mass production of rechargeable batteries leads to spreading use of electric vehicles back in 1900’s. Rare private cars and taxis were electric. Speed record was set at 106 km/h (66 m/h). These vehicles were staring instantly, quietly without any smell and other negative products.

Vehicles with internal combustion engines at that time were much more unreliable with need of manual cranking start. Also they were producing great deal of smoke, noise due to small thermal engine efficiency. Even with all those positive exploitation characteristics of electric vehicles, not to mention their environment friendly role, they lost development battle with their eternal combustion motor relatives.
