Alessandro Volta built one of the first electric batteries. Today, the energy of a battery is measured in volts or voltage, units named for Volta in honor of his work.
Alessandro Volta built and designed the first electric battery. First he used zinc and silver. When he added more layers of paper, iron, and zinc, more current flowed. Alessandro Volta is your answer. :)

Electric cars date back to 1832-1839. Robert Anderson made the first crude carriage. In 1835 Thomas Davenport built a small electric locomotive. Gaston Planate in 1859 invented the first rechargeable lead acid battery. In 1891 William Morrison built the first successful elec. car in the US. NYC has electric taxis made by the Pope Co. in 1897 and Edison begins work on a car battery. By 1900 there are 4,192 cars on the road with 28% are electric and in 1972 GM produces the Buick Skylark hybrid. In 1974 CitiCar is produced by Vanguard-Sebring, 1997 the Toyota Prius is on the road.

Nikola Tesla and George Westinghouse built the first hydro-electric power plant in 1895 in Niagara Falls and started the electrification of the world.
The first battery was made by Italian scientist Alessandro Volta in 1800. He created the first electric battery, known as the Voltaic pile, by stacking alternating discs of zinc and copper separated by cardboard soaked in saltwater. This setup generated a steady electric current.
