This Is An Electric Car... and it's 125 years old 

It's almost like electric cars were an inferior technology that got outmoded over a century ago.

At the beginning.. They were a novelty... For wealthy people... I conversation Starter.. Like that ugly Ciber Truck...

lol.......

What about the Bolt?

@@jlrutube1312 Doesn’t have a generator to recharge batteries

That is a past almost no one I meet can even imagine, you must appreciate such a free thinking mind because 80% of people can't even imagine a present without capitalism, mass production, oil, complicated monopoly corporate for profit driven reality we have today. So few people can even imagine that cars could be a fifty year devoleped electric / power driven society. Maybe we could have reached a class 1 civilization earlier.

So grateful it didn’t.

I expect it would be far more primitive and undeveloped, since the electrical grid even 100 years ago was primitive and regional, was not at all able to support the demand for vehicles in rural areas that much more practical gasoline easily enabled.

​@blattimus ah such ignorant negativity. Yall dumb ass's are cute trying to act smart.

​@@23chngewhy because you lack the imagination or the intelligence?

And thank you for being such a (obviously due to your interest) dedicated educator. It seems all to often today that all we hear about are teachers more concerned with pronouns and subjects that more than blur the lines that should be crossed. Thank You for all that you do for our children's futures.

Developing parallel to these early "novelty" items of wealthy people, Crude oil, Steel, Electric power etc... Also the Famous Names of industry.. guided our lives and this EV era... Cheers from Southern California 🇺🇸... Massive Respect to anyone willing to Teach.. I will never forget the Amazing Teachers i learned from...

@@albertross2322 thank you. I trie to help enlighten young minds 🧠

They have flying cars already

Seen the same one a couple of times in 1993.. Cerritos Auto Square.. 1st Job . I remember how you could only hear the Tires..

Travelling at a blistering speed of 10 miles per hour

@@13thbiosphere Just like the Teslas under Las Vegas.

Even the use of HEMP was being developed to be made into Car Panels.. Steel won of course, handshake agreements etc ...

nonsense!!!! oil companies never did such things, also oil companies helped develop the LFP battery tech fyi, oil companies made fuel to power the industrial revolution, construction of roads, agriculture, mining, building of canals, aviation, maritime, even aerospace, lets not forget the grid, power stations and much more! what can your useless new 1000hp do today? 0-60? lol!!!

in places like Australia they have been using road trains which are diesel semis that hauls up to 3-4x the load of a tesla 1000hp semi lol!!! diesel caterpilar and other equipments helps rebuild or repair infrastructures in critical conditiond while the useless EVs does nothing.

your starlink internet is possible because of oil!, all the millions of oil byproducts, the plastics, plastic protection on charging cable, ruber tires, asphalt roads..... thats all oil.

@@AtZero138 lol!!!!! hemp, horse hair and many other stuffs, soja waste..... tons of non oil products have been used for decades to build cars lol!!! why would you use hemp to make car panels when steel is much better!?

The chassis came from lotus, but do go on.

You really are stupid troll with the brains of a turnip that passed through a pig.

yeah..... electric rockets, electric airbus a380 able to do new york-sydney over 10,000 miles in one go lol..........

Thomas Parker was producing electric cars in Wolverhampton, UK from around 1884. He was a pioneer electrical engineering and was subsequently involved with the electrification of the Metropolitan Railway (London Underground). William Thomson - Lord Kelvin - described him as the 'Edison of Europe'.

no

are you high on something?!

@@carholic-sz3qv unfortunately, you didn't change my mind with this 'argument" 😁

@@n2l2l lol!!!!! seriously are you a child?! why would i want to force anyone to do whatever they want? wtf!!!!

@@carholic-sz3qv so I stand by this statement 😀

nonsense!!!! ICE today are sinificantly more silent, more powerful, way more practical and flexible than any EV, ICE powers gigantic aircrafts, ships, trains........ ICE builds roads, bridges, entire cities, install renewables at sea and connect to land, builds the grid and much more while the useless EVs relies on it.

Hydrogen is a loser. It is VERY difficult to contain, is explosive in air, is only an energy storage and transport system, not an energy source, since all hydrogen must be PRODUCED. When combusted or reacted in a fuel cell, returns less energy than was put into it. Most hydrogen is produced from natural gas. It might be good for large aircraft, which already have a high-tech maintenance infrastructure. It also provides low mass to energy output... it's "lighter" than an equivalent amount of jet fuel. Being that it is less dense, it wouldn't work as well for small aircraft, but they aren't major polluters. Zero point energy? That CAN'T be a source of useful energy, energy which dan do work. There would need to be another pole to which any energy could flow, requiring a sort of negative universe and some way to link to it. And that universe would have to have a different energy value as well as polarity for energy to flow. Zero point energy is not just some energy floating around waiting to be harnessed, is describes the LOWEST POSSIBLE energy state. This is NOT a source of usable energy, any more than the energy represented by the mass and forces in water molecules or their component atoms make water into fuel.

I suggest you grow a brain.... I bet you 100 million dollars hydrogen vehicles are not gonna be successful.... I'm not going to waste time explaining it to you

@@kimweaver1252 hydrogen could be manufactured on demand at location but a problem storing it on the vehicle the cost just doesn't work out and it's all about cost..... If the world had run out of crude oil in the year 2000 hydrogen would have taken off we had more oil than we thought.....Thanks to fracking we've got another 20 years of cheap oil left

Hydrogen? LoL

@@13thbiosphere No, there is NO "cheap" oil left. In July of 1990, oil was priced at just about $50 a barrel.corrected for inflation. It has been much higher and much lower in the intervening time. It's now about $80 a barrel in constant dollars. IC drivers should be praising EV owners to the moon, instead of vandalizing charging stations and keying Teslas. It's the increased number of EVs which have helped to stabilize oil prices by attenuating demand. Shorter lines waiting to gas up, too. Most "unconventional" oil, largely fracked wells, is expensive to extract, needing about 90 dollars a barrel to produce. So, the producers are taking a hit on the raw input costs. One way to continue to turn a profit on the oil is to reduce refining and transport costs, find a way around paying taxes or higher prices for leases. This constrains refining capacity and refined produce output. The are not ever going to engage market flooding rhe market wilth an abundance of fuel. Get used to ever higher prices and some short term supply disruptions and shortages.

lol!!!!!! batteries have been in development for centuries and there are tons of different battery chemistries there was already a head start but batteries cannot compete with liquid fuel period! just look at spacex rockets or an airbus a380 thats extraordinary what oil can do, lets not forget the millions of oil byproducts. car tires, road asphalt, plastics.....

The alternator is driven by the engine and is a significant load on the engine, along with propulsion (acceleration plus overcoming air and rolling resistance), air conditioning, and cooling. It takes more fuel to turn the alternator, converting gasoline into electricity. The amount of fuel consumed is dependent on the electrical load which includes the amount of electricity needed to operate the car as well as the state of charge of the battery. If the battery is low, the alternator output is higher until the battery takes a full charge. When it's fully charged and remains in circuit, it functions as a resistor, still consuming some energy. Human civilization causes harm to the biosphere, which is the part of the planet which we are most concerned with. Industrial civilization is the most destructive iteration of our civilizations. Civilization is a heat engine. Excess heat alters the habitat we require to survive. Extinction is the norm. The average mammal species has lasted about a million years, on average. Some less, some more. We are on track to end after only about a half million years on Earth. It's that simple.

Well you have a lot of googling to do to get up to speed about the truth and stop being mislead by FUD.

@@sevenflashowls Would that be Elmer?

And stop shouting. You're not helping your argument.
