⚡ Electric Vehicles: A revolution of the past, now a part of our everyday life ⚡ Electric vehicles were a groundbreaking innovation in the early 20th century. Ferdinand Porsche's Lohner-Porsche project from 1900 was revolutionary, with hub motors integrated into the wheels, making electricity in automotive technology something truly novel. At that time, electricity in vehicles was considered a real revolution Today, although electricity in automotive technology plays an increasingly important role, electric vehicles are no longer what they once were – a groundbreaking innovation. They have become a natural part of the automotive market, and their presence in daily life no longer causes the same surprise as it did at the beginning of the 20th century🚗🔋 #ElectricVehicles #Innovation #FerdinandPorsche #AutomotiveHistory #AutomotiveIndustry https://lnkd.in/dMxD5FRn

Ferdinand Porsche’s first invention ⚡️ On April 14, 1900, a revolutionary electric car, based on the Lohner-Porsche system, made its debut at the Paris Exposition’s Palace of Electricity. This marked the beginning of the Porsche legacy and brought global recognition to a 24-year-old Ferdinand Porsche. Working for Jacob Lohner & Co. in Vienna, Porsche designed and developed an electric vehicle in just ten weeks, featuring wheel-hub motors integrated into the front wheels. Each motor delivered 2.5 hp, allowing the car to reach a top speed of 32 km/h. Notably, the Lohner-Porsche was one of the first vehicles to feature simultaneous braking on all four wheels, a true milestone in automotive engineering for 1900. This innovation not only demonstrated Porsche's technical brilliance, but also his ability to creatively optimise existing solutions and push boundaries in the automotive industry. A testament to Porsche’s early vision of efficiency and performance, this project laid the foundation for the future of automotive design. #porsche #electriccar #electricvehicle #ev #innovation #netzero #sustainability
