Electric cars were first developed in the early 19th century, with the earliest known electric vehicle built by Scottish inventor Robert Anderson around 1832-1839. However, it wasn't until the late 19th century, particularly in the 1880s and 1890s, that electric cars gained popularity, with significant advancements made by inventors like Thomas Parker in the UK and the introduction of electric taxis in New York City in 1897. The combination of improved battery technology and growing urbanization contributed to the early adoption of electric vehicles.
