Best Answer

Robert Anderson of Scotland invented the first electric car in the 1830's. A similar electric car was designed in Holland in 1835. American Thomas Davenport and Scotsmen Robert Davidson built better ones around 1842. They were the first to use non-rechargeable electric cells. However, as soon as the gasoline powered internal combustion engine was invented, interest in electric cars lost its spark.
