Robert Anderson is often credited with creating one of the earliest electric vehicles in the 1830s, driven by a desire to explore new modes of transportation beyond traditional steam-powered engines. His invention was part of a broader interest in harnessing electricity for practical applications, aiming to improve efficiency and reduce reliance on fossil fuels. The electric car represented a vision of a cleaner and more sustainable future in transportation, although it would take many years for the technology to evolve into a viable alternative to gasoline-powered vehicles.
He did not. He invented the electric motor car, which is a different matter.
yes he did
Between 1834 and 1839 Robert Anderson of Scotland created an electric carriage, In 1835 Christopher Becker of Holland also made an electric car. In America Thomas Davenport made and electric car around 1842.
"The invention of the electric vehicle is attributed to various people, including the Hungarian inventor of the electric motor,Ányos Jedlik, Vermont blacksmith Thomas Davenport, Professor Sibrandus Stratingh of Groningen, the Netherlands, and Scotsmen Robert Davidson and Robert Anderson."
1931
The car tyre was made by Robert William Thomson.
Robert Anderson of Scotland invented the first electric car in the 1830's. A similar electric car was designed in Holland in 1835. American Thomas Davenport and Scotsmen Robert Davidson built better ones around 1842. They were the first to use non-rechargeable electric cells. However, as soon as the gasoline powered internal combustion engine was invented, interest in electric cars lost its spark.
because
Nikola Tesla invented the car. He did turn a pierce arrow 1930 car all electric.
A small-scale electric car was designed by Professor Stratingh of Groningen, Holland, and built by his assistant Christopher Becker in 1835.
between 1665 and 1825 the emperor of china had a car built and it was a steam car invented by Ferdinand Verbiest and built by Nicholas Cugnot 1839 Robert Anderson of Aberdeen built the first electric vehicle. it goes on, from then to know many different electric cars have been built . The above vehicles were indeed not driven by petrol, but they were not hybrids, each had only one form of propulsion.
Because back in the days, early gas/petrol engines were noisy, weak and unreliable. Electric motors were stronger, quieter, and more reliable.
