1888 Battery Combustion Designers Electric Electricity Motive Power Powered Sadly Triumph Vehicles

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Mary Evans Picture Library showcases an Electric Dog-Cart from 1888, a fascinating glimpse into the early days of electric vehicles. The battery-powered cart represents a time when car designers were experimenting with electricity as a motive power for transportation. However, as history would have it, combustion ultimately triumphed over electric power in the automotive industry. The image exudes a sense of historical significance and innovation, capturing the essence of a bygone era when vehicles were powered by alternative means. The sleek design of the dog-cart hints at the potential that electricity held for motoring at the time. Despite its eventual defeat by combustion engines, this Electric Dog-Cart serves as a reminder of the ingenuity and creativity of early vehicle designers. It symbolizes a period when possibilities seemed endless and new technologies were constantly being explored. Mary Evans Prints Online has preserved this piece of automotive history for future generations to appreciate and learn from. It is not just a photograph; it is a window into an important chapter in the evolution of transportation technology.
