In 1884, Thomas Parker, an engineer from Wolverhampton, built one of the first practical electric cars. By the end of the 1880s he was driving it to work.
Around 1900, electric cars were a common sight in American cities. The Pope Manufacturing Company of Hartford, Connecticut, sold them under the Columbia name from 1899. They were quiet, clean and easy to start, with no starting handle. Petrol cars won in the end because they went further, and there was nowhere to charge out in the country.
In 1914, Henry Ford announced an electric Model T using Thomas Edison's nickel-iron batteries. Ford even bought his wife Clara an electric car. The batteries were slow to charge and expensive, and Ford dropped the project after reportedly spending about $1.5 million.
More than 100 years later, we've come back to electric, and the same three questions are back with it: how far will it go, where can I charge, and what does it cost? That's what this map is for.

Moving your drivers to electric?
Smooth, planned driving stretches an electric lorry's range just as it saves diesel. I build those skills into all my driver training.
