When were the first electric car invented?

While there are many contenders for the "first" electric car, the earliest practical electric vehicle is generally considered to be the Flocken Elektrowagen, built in 1888 by Andreas Flocken in Germany.

Here's why it's significant:

* Functional: Unlike some earlier prototypes, the Flocken was designed for actual use and was capable of reaching speeds of up to 10 km/h.

* Electric Drive: It used an electric motor to power the wheels, which was a significant innovation at the time.

* Practical Features: It had a battery pack and a steering wheel, making it more like a modern car than earlier experiments.

While there were earlier attempts at electric vehicles, the Flocken Elektrowagen stands out as a significant step towards the development of the modern electric car.
