Tesla's AC Induction Motor is one of the 10 greatest discoveries of all time. He had an experimental shop at 89 Liberty Street in New York.
Nikola Tesla invented the poly-phase induction motor in 1883.
If you're talking about DC vs AC, the man who found the most ways to use electricity and should be considered one of the founders of modern electricity is Nikola Tesla. Despite what many schools teach, Thomas Edison did not invent the light bulb. Nikola Tesla was the original inventor, Thomas Edison only adjusted it to be "sellable." Thomas Edison was an entrepreneur, not a scientist. He was interested in making money, not creating things. Nikola Tesla is practically the founder of all modern electricity, before Tesla we were using DC, which is direct current. This method was very inefficient, and required lots of power plants. Meanwhile, AC or alternate current, invented by Nikola Tesla, was much more efficient and it did not require a power plant every couple of blocks. Tesla even had a wireless version of the electricity - however Edison could not think of a way to make profit off of this, and therefore it was not implemented. To name a few of Tesla's inventions; radio, x-ray, radar, light bulb, remote control, electric motor, robotics, laser, and wireless. Many of his inventions were not implemented until later dates, and by people other than him over time who just did some tweaking.
Electrical engineers have invented a wide range of technologies, including the electric motor, transformer, and various types of communication systems like radio and television. They have also played key roles in developing power generation and distribution systems, such as the AC (alternating current) power system pioneered by Nikola Tesla. Additionally, innovations in semiconductor devices, such as transistors, have revolutionized electronics and computing. Overall, their contributions have significantly shaped modern technology and infrastructure.
Nikola Tesla was an inventor. Because of his revolutionary contributions in the field of "electricity and magnetism" in 19th and 20th centuries he earned the names; "Man out of his time","Father of the physics","The man who invented the twentieth century","Wizard of the west", "Modern prometheus" "The modern sorcerer" and "The genius who lit the world". This is the man you all seeking.
In 1888 Tesla designed the first practical system of generating and transmitting alternating current for electric power. The American rights to this epoch-making invention were bought by the American inventor George Westinghouse, who demonstrated the system for the first time at the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago. Two years later Tesla's alternating-current motors were installed at the Niagara Falls power project. Tesla made his first invention, then called a telephone repeater, or amplifier, but today would be called a loud speaker.
By 1888 Nikola Tesla built and patented his alternating current motor wich is the one to power homes and builduings today.

The Tesla Pierce Arrow electric car was not completed until 1931 and it was never put in sale. The Tesla motor company which has electric cars is another thing. You should see my Nikola Tesla presentation which I posted in the related links box below.
Nikola Tesla worked for Edison who didn't see use for his electric motor but at the end Tesla won the war on electricity and his work lights the whole world today.
In May 1885, George Westinghouse, head of the Westinghouse Electric Company in Pittsburgh, bought the patent rights to Tesla's polyphase system of alternating-current dynamos, transformers, and motors.
Nikola Tesla was greatly influenced by Vedic philosophy, and thus the realisation that Reality is a Dynamic Unity.
