When did electric vehicles come out?
Electric vehicles, also known as EVS, have been around for over a century. The first electric car was developed in the late 1800s and gained popularity due to its quiet operation and clean energy. However, the mass production and use of internal combustion engine vehicles led to a decline in electric vehicle popularity until recent years. With advancements in technology and growing concerns about air pollution and climate change, electric vehicles have made a comeback in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Today, electric vehicles are becoming increasingly common, with many major automobile manufacturers producing electric cars and governments implementing policies to promote their adoption.
