[QUOTE="Fat Boss, post: 16625862, member: 122645"] Since a LOT of people think EV's are something relatively new, here's some "fun facts." I've know a lot of this as my dad was a national president of the Horseless Carriage Club of America for a few years, and I've grown up with early 1900's cars in the garage. Here's your electric vehicle history facts of the day: [LIST] [*][i]The first electric vehicles were invented in the mid-19th century[/i] [*][i]Electric vehicles held the land speed record until approximately 1900[/i] [*][i]At the turn of the century, electric vehicles held approximately 38% of US market share (whereas ICE had only 22%, but steam controlled 40%)[/i] [*][i]Sales of electric vehicles hit their early peak in 1912[/i] [*][i]The electric vehicles downfall was due to the rise of gas stations and the construction of actual roads, which allowed vehicles to travel more than a few miles per day.[/i] [*][i]Domestic oil findings further pushed ICE to the lead[/i] [/LIST] Someday I'll inherit my dad's 1910 Model T. All the mouth breathers that continually whine about "soul" and other anthropomorphistic qualities about their ICE cars should man up and show me they can start and drive a Model T. You know, crank the starter by hand. Adjust the spark advance manually. You sure as hell don't want nannies doing your spark advance, do you? Only sissies and LBQRKTS's need that. Here's the old man about to take it for a spin. He bought it from Bill Harrah in 1971 and spent 20 years restoring it. He's now put about 25,000 miles on it at speeds of about 30MPH.
