When was the first electric car made?

The first electric car was invented in 1832 by Robert Anderson in Scotland.

However, it's important to note that Anderson's car was more of a prototype than a practical vehicle. It was powered by non-rechargeable primary batteries and was quite rudimentary.

The first practical electric car is often attributed to Flocken Elektrowagen in 1888 in Germany, which was actually sold commercially and used lead-acid batteries.
