Electric Convertible Cars:
Electricity is seen as a more efficient power source for cars by centralising the production of power to power stations rather than the individual vehicle. Electric cars still remain controversial with the emissions remaining though being detached from the car. It is often seen as a stop-gap for the motor industry while more efficient power sources such as hydrogen fuel cells can be developed.
The first electric car was developed as a convertible in 1900 by Lohner-Porsche. The car’s design used an innovative hybrid system that featured both large batteries and a petrol powered generator to power electric motors at each wheel.
