History of Electric Vehicles

The history of electric vehicles is marked by a series of innovations, declines, and revivals, spanning over a century. This section delves into the early history, the impact of the oil crises, and notable electric vehicles like the Sinclair C5.

Early History of Electric Vehicles

Late 19th Century - Early 20th Century

Origins:
Electric vehicles have their roots in the early 19th century. The first practical electric vehicle was built by Scottish inventor Robert Anderson between 1832 and 1839. This early electric carriage was powered by non-rechargeable batteries and laid the groundwork for future developments.

Early 20th Century Market Share:
By the early 1900s, electric vehicles, petrol-powered cars, and steam cars each held significant shares of the market. At this time, electric vehicles were favored for their quiet operation and ease of use compared to the noisy, cumbersome petrol cars.

In 1900, electric vehicles held about one-third of the automotive market. They were popular among urban drivers due to their reliability and the convenience of not requiring manual hand-cranking, as was needed for petrol vehicles.

Decline:
The decline of electric vehicles began with the rise of petrol-powered cars, facilitated by innovations such as the electric starter and mass production techniques introduced by Henry Ford. By the 1920s, the market for electric vehicles had diminished significantly as internal combustion engines became more widespread and infrastructure for petrol vehicles expanded.

The 1970s Oil Crisis and the Revival of Interest in EVs

Oil Crisis

The oil crises of the 1970s, including the 1973 Arab Oil Embargo and the 1979 energy crisis, renewed interest in alternative energy sources like electric vehicles. The sharp increase in oil prices and concerns about energy security highlighted the need for less oil-dependent transportation solutions.

During this period, there was a resurgence in the development of electric vehicles as a means to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and mitigate the impact of future oil shortages.

Early 1970s Efforts

Various automotive manufacturers and research institutions explored electric vehicles during this time. Despite the enthusiasm, many early attempts were constrained by the technology of the era, including limitations in battery performance and range.

Notable Vehicles and Innovations

Sinclair C5 (1985)

Overview:
The Sinclair C5, designed by Sir Clive Sinclair, was an electric vehicle launched in 1985. It was a small, three-wheeled vehicle intended for short trips and urban commuting. The C5 had a top speed of about 15 miles per hour and a range of 20-30 miles on a single charge.

Reception:
Despite its innovative concept, the Sinclair C5 faced criticism for its limited speed, range, and lack of weather protection. It was also deemed unsafe by some due to its low profile and exposure to road hazards. The vehicle was not commercially successful and was discontinued after a brief production period. Nonetheless, it remains an important historical reference in the development of electric vehicles.

Other Notable Early EVs

General Motors EV1 (1996-1999):
The GM EV1 was one of the first mass-produced electric cars of the modern era, introduced in the late 1990s. It was notable for its advanced technology and was designed specifically as an electric vehicle.

The EV1 was praised for its performance and efficiency but faced limitations due to high costs and lack of support infrastructure. GM eventually decided to discontinue the EV1 and retrieve most of the vehicles from customers.

Modern Resurgence

21st Century

The early 2000s marked a resurgence in electric vehicles, driven by advances in battery technology, increasing environmental concerns, and government incentives. Tesla Motors, founded in 2003, played a significant role in popularizing electric vehicles with models like the Tesla Roadster and Model S. Othe...

In the third quarter of 2025, over ******* battery-electric vehicles were sold in the United States. This was a year-over-year increase of over ***percent compared to the sales recorded in the third quarter of 2024. The third quarter of 2025 also recorded a hike in sales compared to the second quarter of that same year, making it the best quarter for BEV sales in the country ever. The stark increase in sales in the third quarter of 2025 is tied to the elimination of EV purchase incentives by the U.S. government. The fourth quarter of 2025 could very well see a decrease in sales. Global EV Race - Where does the U.S. stand? Over the last few years, consumers have perceived Electric Vehicles (EVs) as a far more appealing option due to their increased range, battery life, variety of models, and affordability. Therefore, the EV market has grown fast in recent years and is forecast to expand to ****billion U.S. dollars in 2029. Though the global demand for electric cars has been escalating, American sales lag behind Europe and the Asia-Pacific regions. In 2024, Chinese customers bought around **** million plug-in EVs, considerably more than American customers' purchases, around *** million that year. China leads the global EV race, with a substantial **** percent growth in sales year-on-year in 2024. However, given the market share of electric vehicles in the global automotive industry, this still can be anyone's race. Outlook of the U.S. market There is still a lack of interest in electric vehicles among American buyers compared to European and Asian consumers. In the first half of 2021, the share of the battery electric vehicle was **** percentage points more in Norway than in the U.S. One of the main reasons is that American consumers still anticipate that EVs are more expensive than gasoline vehicles and diesel internal combustion engine cars (ICE). This perception is partially true in the U.S. since the battery production market is highly concentrated in Asia, where the companies have logistical advantages, leading automotive makers to offer better prices. On the other hand, high licensing fees for electric vehicles are another factor affecting the consumption behaviors of automobile purchasers. In many states, the licensing fees for electric cars are considerably higher than their ICE counterparts. EV licensing fees were around *** U.S. dollars compared to ** U.S. dollars for standard vehicles in Georgia in 2021. Together, these factors significantly impact the individual perception of electric cars in the United States.
