The ENTIRE History of Electric Vehicles Explained

In 1900, one out of every three cars on the streets of New York, Boston, and Chicago was electric. They were silent, clean, and didn't require dangerous hand cranks. High society drove them, taxi fleets ran on them, and a Belgian racer shattered 100 km/h in an electric car. Then, almost overnight, they vanished. For nearly a century, the electric vehicle became a ghost—buried beneath cheap Texas oil, Henry Ford's assembly lines, and electric starter motors. But how did it die? And how did a combination of NASA moon rovers, California smog mandates, lithium-ion batteries, and Silicon Valley startups bring it back from the dead? This is the full story of how the electric vehicle was born, murdered, forgotten, and resurrected to reshape our modern world.
