Just watched last night's "Revolutions: Ideas that changed the world. The Car."
https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m000775k/revolutions-the-ideas-that-changed-the-world-series-1-2-the-carA fascinating programme for anyone interested in the motor car, but with interesting facts around electric cars.
It explains how, when ICE cars first came on the scene there was no infrastructure and problems in refuelling(!) but problems with pollution (horse manure), helped its uptake. In 1900, 30% of motor vehicles were electric.
There was an interesting section on Graphene batteries, the real future of electric power storage. When they are scaled up from the current laboratory experiments, they could provide all the answers to electric cars. Basically, the car body will be manufactured from Graphene (lighter and stronger than steel) and this will be the battery. A Graphene battery can be charged as quickly as a petrol tank can be filled (no idea how they will transfer that much energy that quickly).
But as I said, an interesting programme for anyone with interest in the envelopment of the car as a means of transport (did you know the invention of the axle was more important than the wheel itself?).
