If some of these electric car prototypes date back to 1830's, it means they were designed almost 200 years ago. Fascinating.
It's almost like electric cars were an inferior technology that got outmoded over a century ago.
At the beginning..
They were a novelty... For wealthy people...
I conversation Starter..
Like that ugly Ciber Truck...
lol.......
At about 4 1/2 minutes you show steam, gasoline, and electric cars. The "gasoline" car is actually a Stanley Steamer (a steam car). Otherwise, I love your videos. Keep up the good work.
Bring back the Volt!
What about the Bolt?
@@jlrutube1312 Doesn’t have a generator to recharge batteries
Man, imagine a present where electric had won out instead of ICE vehicles :o
That is a past almost no one I meet can even imagine, you must appreciate such a free thinking mind because 80% of people can't even imagine a present without capitalism, mass production, oil, complicated monopoly corporate for profit driven reality we have today. So few people can even imagine that cars could be a fifty year devoleped electric / power driven society. Maybe we could have reached a class 1 civilization earlier.
I expect it would be far more primitive and undeveloped, since the electrical grid even 100 years ago was primitive and regional, was not at all able to support the demand for vehicles in rural areas that much more practical gasoline easily enabled.
@blattimus ah such ignorant negativity. Yall dumb ass's are cute trying to act smart.
@@23chngewhy because you lack the imagination or the intelligence?
I still feel that way about Betamax and HD DVD
Very nice writing and presentation on this subject. Well done!
Great video. Had no idea about electric car history. Thank you for the education!
You guys do quality work. I learn something from every episode.
Excellent! Thanks for your work on this.
*Don't forget Maytag Gasoline powered washing machines.*
Thanks for the great documentary.
Great episode, very interesting. Thanks!
They HAD BATTERY SWAPPING STATIONS in the 1900's??? That's so cool!! Wtf!?
It will always come down to the batteries!
I'm a complete EV history buff, so this was a bullseye video for me. Thanks!
Cracking video, well done
Excellent
You are not in a renaissance, we are more likely in a back to the future future. Thomas Edison experimented with the thought of electrical vehicles, and it became clear to him that electricity should not be used for transportation.
I enjoyed this!
ev's didnt work out back then for a reason
What a wonderful educational video. I’m in eighth grade history teacher, and I’m going to share this with my class. Thank you for all your knowledge. This is a wonderful video that all teachers around the world can use freely to teach their children.
And thank you for being such a (obviously due to your interest) dedicated educator. It seems all to often today that all we hear about are teachers more concerned with pronouns and subjects that more than blur the lines that should be crossed. Thank You for all that you do for our children's futures.
Developing parallel to these early "novelty" items of wealthy people, Crude oil, Steel, Electric power etc...
Also the Famous Names of industry.. guided our lives and this EV era...
Cheers from Southern California 🇺🇸...
Massive Respect to anyone willing to Teach.. I will never forget the Amazing Teachers i learned from...
@@albertross2322 thank you. I trie to help enlighten young minds 🧠
Hi ❤
Aptera will take over 🔥💯
😮
Not changed mutch then.
You forget the 70'S, the second fail. But thats ok, good luck....
No mention of GM's EV-1?
Seen the same one a couple of times in 1993.. Cerritos Auto Square.. 1st Job . I remember how you could only hear the Tires..
I guess their batteries didn't self-combust.
They used alcohol first gasoline came years later most prominently after prohibition.
Nice video. I knew a fair bit about the history of the electric vehicle, but this filled in some gaps. You didn't hint at the oil/gas companies doing everything in their already substantial powers to wipe out the electric vehicle, in the early 20th century, because there was just so much money to be made from oil and gas that they couldn't help themselves. But that's fair enough. The Oil/Gas companies have been tarnishing their reputations well enough themselves in the last 50 years.
Even the use of HEMP was being developed to be made into Car Panels..
Steel won of course, handshake agreements etc ...
nonsense!!!! oil companies never did such things, also oil companies helped develop the LFP battery tech fyi, oil companies made fuel to power the industrial revolution, construction of roads, agriculture, mining, building of canals, aviation, maritime, even aerospace, lets not forget the grid, power stations and much more! what can your useless new 1000hp do today? 0-60? lol!!!
in places like Australia they have been using road trains which are diesel semis that hauls up to 3-4x the load of a tesla 1000hp semi lol!!! diesel caterpilar and other equipments helps rebuild or repair infrastructures in critical conditiond while the useless EVs does nothing.
your starlink internet is possible because of oil!, all the millions of oil byproducts, the plastics, plastic protection on charging cable, ruber tires, asphalt roads..... thats all oil.
@@AtZero138 lol!!!!! hemp, horse hair and many other stuffs, soja waste..... tons of non oil products have been used for decades to build cars lol!!! why would you use hemp to make car panels when steel is much better!?
💰
Suitable for a million views well documented congratulations
I love you
This is very inspirational and brilliant episode. Thank you very much indeed for your very hard effort and very good work.
I assumed the electric car was late 1700s. Good to know.
I'm enlightened! TYVM!
So we had electric cars over 100 years ago, which were fundamentally the same as modern electric cars, minus the unnecessary computerization. And the same goes for ICE cars: the basic principles are the same as 100 years ago, with refinements.
This is why I think our estimation of the modern world as being really high-tech and innovative is mostly false.
You really are stupid troll with the brains of a turnip that passed through a pig.
The first death due to an automobile was in New York City when a gent exited a cab, (or was it a carriage?) and was hit by an electric taxi on the street.
Travelling at a blistering speed of 10 miles per hour
@@13thbiosphere Just like the Teslas under Las Vegas.
This was a great video.
125?!?!? Damn. I wonder who’s going to get credit for the eventual flying car
They have flying cars already
The original EVs failed because there were no tax credits
Nice video, although 9:23 shows telephones lines, not power lines. A phone line would take forever to charge a battery.
Ya ; where do you think they got the design for the Tesla Roadster?
The chassis came from lotus, but do go on.
See j Leno collection
CZcams Video title around 2120: "The rise and fall of the electric vehicle at the turn of the 21th century"
yeah..... electric rockets, electric airbus a380 able to do new york-sydney over 10,000 miles in one go lol..........
The swapping of batteries is what we need today! Then the car is very cheap because the battery pack is NOT part of the cost of the car.
How sad
so basically in America
Thomas Parker was producing electric cars in Wolverhampton, UK from around 1884. He was a pioneer electrical engineering and was subsequently involved with the electrification of the Metropolitan Railway (London Underground).
William Thomson - Lord Kelvin - described him as the 'Edison of Europe'.
no
To this date ICE cars are still noisy and dirty, the very definition of pollution. But the majority of the public cares more about personal ego and the need to show off. That's why you always see the fast ICE cars fan totally in love with making noise.
nonsense!!!! ICE today are sinificantly more silent, more powerful, way more practical and flexible than any EV, ICE powers gigantic aircrafts, ships, trains........ ICE builds roads, bridges, entire cities, install renewables at sea and connect to land, builds the grid and much more while the useless EVs relies on it.
And looking to the back... it seems that the two worst humankind development persons were (despite of their "lightbulb" and "factory layout" development): Edison and Ford....
We would have Tesla inventions everywhere and Electric transportation as main.
Change my mind...
are you high on something?!
@@carholic-sz3qv unfortunately, you didn't change my mind with this 'argument" 😁
@@n2l2l lol!!!!! seriously are you a child?! why would i want to force anyone to do whatever they want? wtf!!!!
@@carholic-sz3qv so I stand by this statement 😀
The electric car in your headline picture did not fail. It was designed to take the world motor-vehicle speed record, and it did.
Great video, but I'm sorry hydrogen is probably the future then after that zero point energy I hope
Hydrogen is a loser. It is VERY difficult to contain, is explosive in air, is only an energy storage and transport system, not an energy source, since all hydrogen must be PRODUCED. When combusted or reacted in a fuel cell, returns less energy than was put into it. Most hydrogen is produced from natural gas. It might be good for large aircraft, which already have a high-tech maintenance infrastructure. It also provides low mass to energy output... it's "lighter" than an equivalent amount of jet fuel. Being that it is less dense, it wouldn't work as well for small aircraft, but they aren't major polluters.
Zero point energy? That CAN'T be a source of useful energy, energy which dan do work. There would need to be another pole to which any energy could flow, requiring a sort of negative universe and some way to link to it. And that universe would have to have a different energy value as well as polarity for energy to flow. Zero point energy is not just some energy floating around waiting to be harnessed, is describes the LOWEST POSSIBLE energy state. This is NOT a source of usable energy, any more than the energy represented by the mass and forces in water molecules or their component atoms make water into fuel.
I suggest you grow a brain.... I bet you 100 million dollars hydrogen vehicles are not gonna be successful.... I'm not going to waste time explaining it to you
@@kimweaver1252 hydrogen could be manufactured on demand at location but a problem storing it on the vehicle the cost just doesn't work out and it's all about cost..... If the world had run out of crude oil in the year 2000 hydrogen would have taken off we had more oil than we thought.....Thanks to fracking we've got another 20 years of cheap oil left
Hydrogen? LoL
@@13thbiosphere No, there is NO "cheap" oil left. In July of 1990, oil was priced at just about $50 a barrel.corrected for inflation. It has been much higher and much lower in the intervening time. It's now about $80 a barrel in constant dollars.
IC drivers should be praising EV owners to the moon, instead of vandalizing charging stations and keying Teslas. It's the increased number of EVs which have helped to stabilize oil prices by attenuating demand. Shorter lines waiting to gas up, too.
Most "unconventional" oil, largely fracked wells, is expensive to extract, needing about 90 dollars a barrel to produce. So, the producers are taking a hit on the raw input costs. One way to continue to turn a profit on the oil is to reduce refining and transport costs, find a way around paying taxes or higher prices for leases. This constrains refining capacity and refined produce output. The are not ever going to engage market flooding rhe market wilth an abundance of fuel. Get used to ever higher prices and some short term supply disruptions and shortages.
Stick with EV not gas ❤
Another victim of the Hydrocarbon 🛢 Consortium.
To just imagine, where we could have reached if we were serious if not with a century headstart but atleast in the last 50 years atleast, from 1973 suez crisis, in an alternative reality.
lol!!!!!! batteries have been in development for centuries and there are tons of different battery chemistries there was already a head start but batteries cannot compete with liquid fuel period! just look at spacex rockets or an airbus a380 thats extraordinary what oil can do, lets not forget the millions of oil byproducts. car tires, road asphalt, plastics.....
They've got to make them solar as well as plugging it in! FIND A WAY TO CHARGE ITSELF WHILE DRIVING, YOU KNOW LIKE THE ALTERNATOR DOES IT IN A GAS POWERED VEHICLE! SO MUCH TECH, SO LITTLE ADVANCES 😢 ELECTRIC VEHICLES WILL CAUSE MORE HARM NEEDING ELECTRICITY SINCE MAKING ELECTRICITY CAUSES HARM TO OUR PLANET!
The alternator is driven by the engine and is a significant load on the engine, along with propulsion (acceleration plus overcoming air and rolling resistance), air conditioning, and cooling. It takes more fuel to turn the alternator, converting gasoline into electricity. The amount of fuel consumed is dependent on the electrical load which includes the amount of electricity needed to operate the car as well as the state of charge of the battery. If the battery is low, the alternator output is higher until the battery takes a full charge. When it's fully charged and remains in circuit, it functions as a resistor, still consuming some energy.
Human civilization causes harm to the biosphere, which is the part of the planet which we are most concerned with. Industrial civilization is the most destructive iteration of our civilizations. Civilization is a heat engine. Excess heat alters the habitat we require to survive. Extinction is the norm. The average mammal species has lasted about a million years, on average. Some less, some more. We are on track to end after only about a half million years on Earth. It's that simple.
Well you have a lot of googling to do to get up to speed about the truth and stop being mislead by FUD.
@@sevenflashowls Would that be Elmer?
And stop shouting. You're not helping your argument.
