The earliest recorded invention of an electric car like contraption was probably by the Scottish inventor Robert Anderson in the 1830s. It was a very basic electric carriage but was the forerunner of more carriage-like machines which arrived later, including Professor Sibrandus Stratingh of Groningen’s design which was built in Holland by his assistant Christopher Becker in 1835.
Stratingh had earlier designed prototypes of steam powered vehicles, but he was unable to improve on his peculiar three wheel electric cart as he died soon after.
American, Thomas Davenport and Scotsman, Robert Davidson, meanwhile were developing vehicles with non-rechargeable electric cells but in 1859, the French physicist Gaston Plante invented the lead-acid battery. The lead-acid battery eventually became the first rechargeable electric battery marketed for commercial use. Subsequent improvements to this rechargeable battery allowed electric vehicles to become a more cost effective and viable transport option.
In the current years, electric car is more and more populer. All is because of energy crisis and extreme global warming (gesoline is one of primary contributor of global warming). It is not obvious what the ideal temperature and CO2 level should be for mankind. We tend to assume that the average of whatever has occurred in the recent past is the ideal level, since we have adjusted to that level, and changes from that level can cause disruptions in living conditions and activities. There is no argument that there have been significant temperature and CO2 (and Methane) increases in recent years. The issue is whether these were possibly related and were due to human activity, and whether this is a potentially significant problem.
It is clear that we get excited at anything different that happens in a time period that spans a large fraction of a lifetime, even if it is not unusual compared to time periods more distant in the past. In order to examine the AGW claims, temperature data covering the last several thousand years was examined for widely separated ice core and ocean sediment core sources. Conclusions from these curves are that the temperature goes up and down 1.50C to 20C about every thousand years. The present increase is not higher than several other times in the period examined, and the speed of change is typical. Dr. Leonard Weinstein worked 35 years at the NASA Langley Research Center, finishing his career there as a Senior Research Scientist. Dr. Weinstein is presently a Senior Research Fellow at the National Institute of Aerospace. He is now a critic of the anthropogenic theory of global warming. His analysis shows that man has contributed less than 0.3C of warming and by the year 2100 may contribute less than 0.4C additional warming. This is much less than what the United Nations IPCC has predicted and a small fraction of what Al Gore and James Hansen have predicted.
And, it is reasonable that many countries to push as quick as possible electric cars. Here, it is one of fast electric car that probably represent other of electric cars.
Are you doubt about electric car speed? Here, probably you will realize that your previous assumption should be corected. For example, Peugeot Electric Car Can Run As fast as a Lamborghini EX1.
electric cars assumption could not be compete to speed on the road. it seem now dashed. Several car manufacturers in the world have proven the success of building electric sport car.
Now the latest news of a technological sophistication of the electric car (electric vehicle / EV) came from the French manufacturer, Peugeot.
Through Peugeot EX1, the lion bearing the manufacturer to prove that electric cars can also be invited to speeding like a Ferrari or Lamborghini.
Military Airport Chengdu in Sichuan, China has managed to witness the power of electrical machinery EX1. Peugeot was a successful electrical Sportcar accelerate from 0-100 kms / h in just 3.49 seconds. Thus was launched from Worldcarfans, Friday (12/16/2010).
Note that time also to make the driver of the French explorer, Nicolas Vanier driving the EX1 is entitled to a new record as the fastest electric car drivers.
EX1 strength comes from two electric motors diusungnya. The electric motor is capable of producing a total power output of 335 hp with peak torque of 480 Nm.
Using wheel drive system all-wheel-drive, front suspension uses double wishbone EX1 while to the rear swingarm which is usually chosen familiar found on a motorcycle.
The suspension of this type it is still capable considering the car is made of lightweight carbon fiber material but strong.
