History: The first electric car in the world - Nissan Juke GTR

Nevertheless, the drive of her companion in 1881 a small sensation. A few months earlier, the Frenchman Gustave Trouvé had constructed a similar three-wheeler which was hardly mobile. “Trouvé battery technology along with the speed control was rather amusing as roadworthy. Using cable winches were the lead plates immersed in the acid of the open batteries. Depending on the depth, the tricycle, with a little luck, faster or slower,” says museum director and an electrical engineer Horst Schultz functioning.

Tricycle by Ayrton & Perry was against it so advanced that you could eat with the rebuilt fairly easily km. The speed is controlled by a hand crank on the left next to the driver’s seat. It acts as a switch and turns cells in six-volt batteries, the individual steps together. The farther you turn the crank to the left, the more voltage is and the faster the vehicle. Instead of the rechargeable lead-acid batteries in 1881 allowed many as 40 kilometer range, built Schultz and his team museum modern lithium iron phosphate battery pack. Thus, the range increases to 70 kilometers.

battery exchange in every city If you humming on the electricity of Ayrton & Perry in all the gasoline carriages passing through the streets, one can not get rid of this thought: How could the world look like today if we had set from the beginning to the electric motor? A similar question arose in 1884, an author of the magazine “The new universe,” as he wrote an article on the tricycle of the British.

downright effusive describes the author of the advantages of electric velocipede over those with gas or steam service. In every major city there would soon be stores where you get charged batteries and delivers blank – “about how to soda water or beer bottles creates the customer into the house and out again while intoxicated entrains” the vision of 1884. If electric pioneer Shai Agassi today be battery swap “Better Place” praises, so he realized actually an ancient idea.

The first electric car in the world now stands next to a historical museum in bicycle-tricycle car vision. As a replica of the vehicle is in good company: Also from Benz’schen Patent Motor Car, there are only replicas and not originals more
