Everything you could ever wish to know about the history of electric vehicles!

The electric car revolution has well and truly begun, but vehicles powered by electricity aren’t as new as you might think… In 1898, Ferdinand Porsche presented the “Egger-Lohner electric vehicle” known as the “P1” for short, the world’s first Porsche design. At this point in time, 38% of cars in the US were powered by electricity. The first off-planet automobile ride took place in an electric car on the surface of the moon in 1971. Electric vehicles broke new ground in 2014 with the debut Formula E race in Beijing. According to analysis, by 2025 electric vehicles will make up 22% of the vehicles produced in the EU, and close to 50% by 2030. There’s never been more focus on electric vehicles and we’re likely to see rapid development and growth in EVs over the coming years.
