INTRODUCTION

Attention Device: “How many people know the first car made was powered by electric?” According to Laurie Toupin (2014), the author of Electric Vehicles, “Thomas Davenport is credited with building the first practical EV in 1834, which was quickly followed by a two-passenger electric car in 1847, and then an electric car in 1851 that could go 20 mph (32 km/h).”(p.1492). As time passed by, gas powered cars brought more excitement to human, people start to stop developing electric vehicles until 1990. People start to switch their attention to electric cars again during the 1960s because of all the environmental problem and energy shortage.

BODY

First I am going to talk about the history of electric car.

Electric Vehicles are not new. In 1828, Anyos Jedlik invented the first electric motor. In 1834, Thomas Davenport built a similar model. In the following decades, inventors from Hungary to the Netherlands produced their own battery-powered, small scale electric vehicles.

According to Laurie Toupin (2014), the author of Electric Vehicles, “Thomas Davenport is credited with building the first practical EV in 1834, which was quickly followed by a two-passenger electric car in 1847,” (p.1492).

According to James Trefil (2015), the author of Electric Motor, “Anyos Jedlik (1800–1895) used one coil of wire on a rotating rotor and another coil as a stator, analogous to a rotor except that it stays put.” This is how use their idea to created a motor.

In 1834, Thomas Davenport built a battery-powered vehicle that ran on a train track. His device led the way for the world’s first electric locomotive just fifteen years

It appeared on the moon, the three lunar rovers electric vehicles left behind by Apollo astronauts. This electric vehicle bought up a vision to the big three car companies. The electric vehicle 1 created by automaker General Motors in 1996, but it didn’t work out because of the car so expensive and low mileages. By the twenty-first century, Toyota released their new model-Prius in 1997. Toyota prius is a hybrid electric car power by a small engine and an electric battery. As science and technology develop, the motor company of Tesla introduced the new model of model s in 2010. According to Thomas Riggs (2016), the author of Electric Car, “The all-electric luxury sports car runs entirely on a battery-powered electric drive system, can last up to 200 miles (322 kilometers) on one charge, and can go from 0 to 60 miles per hour (0 to 97 kilometers per hour) in 3.7 seconds.” (p.153). This successful electric car built by Tesla has proved that a new age of electric car is coming.

Now that I have talked about the history of electric cars by in just, I will now explain the idea of electric car and how they
