Did Thomas Edison invent a car?

Thomas Edison did not invent the first car, but he did make significant contributions to the development of the electric car. In 1896, he designed and built an electric car called the "Edison Electric Automobile," which was capable of reaching a speed of 20 miles per hour. However, it was not a commercial success due to its high cost and limited range. Edison continued to work on improving the electric car, and in 1899 he introduced the "Edison Electric Carriage," which was lighter and more efficient than its predecessor. However, it still failed to gain widespread acceptance due to the lack of infrastructure for charging electric vehicles.
