    Electric vehicles have a long history, with some of the earliest models in the 1830s and 1840s being non-rechargeable. In the late 1800s and early 1900s, electric vehicles outsold gasoline-powered vehicles as the technology advanced, including improved batteries. However, by the 1920s electric vehicles declined in popularity and gasoline vehicles became more widespread.
