While electric cars may seem like a very 21st-century invention, a contemporary four-wheeled innovation in answer to the desperate need to save the planet, in reality, the first electric car was created way back in 1830s Scotland.
It was then reinvented in England in 1884, then again in Germany in 1888, then in the US in 1890, 1899, 1902 and 1907. In fact, there have been loads of loads of electric cars over the years, but they all had the same problem: big ole battery, low ole mileage.
