When did the first Electric car come out?

The first practical electric car was invented by William Morrison in Des Moines, Iowa, in 1890. His vehicle reached speeds of 14 mph and could travel 20 miles on a single charge. But electric cars didn’t become commercially successful until the early 1900s, when they were favored by wealthy urban dwellers who lived close to charging stations. One of the most popular electric cars was the Detroit Electric, which was produced from 1907 to 1939 and sold for around $2,000. However, the rise of the gasoline-powered car soon made electric cars obsolete, and they virtually disappeared from the market by the 1920s. The revival of electric cars began in the 1970s due to concerns over air pollution and the oil crisis. This led to the development of hybrid cars, which combine an internal combustion engine with an electric motor, as well as fully electric cars.
