Electric cars are nothing new. Interest in motor vehicles increased greatly around the 1900s and at that time there were about twice as many electric cars on the road than petrol/diesel cars. It wasn’t until the 1920s that interest in electric cars dwindled. The reason was that electric cars were limited by their low top speeds and low range (just a few miles). In addition, in 1912 the electric starter motor was developed for petrol cars, eliminating the traditional drawback of petrol cars: having to use a hand crank to get the car moving! It was Henry Ford who put the nail in the electric car coffin when his company began to massproduce the Model T. This slashed the price of petrol cars to about half that of an electric car and so in the early 1900s almost all electric car manufacturers began to cease making them. The limited maximum speed of electric cars (up to 30mph) limited their practicality. For most of
the 20th century, British milk floats made up most of the world’s number of electric vehicles.
