When was the first hybrid car invented and by who?

The Lohner-Porsche was the world's first gasoline-electric hybrid car. It was invented in 1900 by Ferdinand Porsche, who was then working for the Lohner company in Vienna, Austria. The Lohner-Porsche was a four-wheel drive vehicle with two electric motors and a small internal combustion engine that acted as a generator. The electric motors were powered by a battery of lead-acid cells, and the internal combustion engine was used to recharge the battery. The Lohner-Porsche could reach a speed of 35 mph and had a range of about 30 miles.
