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.
