Lektro expanded its business to the field of aircraft trailers and promoted it in this field. It can be said that it has found a very good applicable scenario for electric vehicles.
1959, National Union Electric Corp modified 100 Renault Dauphin cars from France, changed them to pure electric cars, and named them Henney Kilowatt, but there were only 47 orders, mainly ordered by power company .
During this period, General Motors is also constantly trying to drive electric cars.
Friends who know the Chevrolet Corvair family must be very clear. Electric + Corvair = Electrovair, which is definitely an oil-to-electric . This car is a pure electric car launched by General Motors Chevrolet in 1966
Electrovair
Electrovair II
In addition to pure electric vehicles, GM Chevrolet is also the first car company to try hydrogen fuel cell . On October 28, 1966, Chevrolet mass-produced the first fuel cell car Chevrolet Electrovan
1967 AMC (American Automobile Company) predicted several new car-making forces in the United States in 1967. There will be an oil crisis in the next year. Therefore, an electric car with a styling like the Q-version Lamborghini wedge-shaped body was designed in advance. The car's styling is also very fashionable now. What's more awesome is that the oil crisis predicted by AMC really appeared in the next few years, but unfortunately, AMC did not predict the future of electric vehicles, nor did it support the emergence of the oil crisis.
Japan also developed relatively early in the field of new energy vehicles. It may be related to it being a poor country.
In 1947, Japan launched the electric car Tama TAMA with lead-acid battery.
Tama TAMA has a speed of 35km/h, and its battery life cannot exceed 100km. Therefore, the battery swap technology
performance is as good as the old man today, it is just because it was born in the wrong era.
and his luck was also relatively poor. From 1945 to 1951, the international market lead price soared, up 34 times. Japan's oil supply began to gradually recover after World War II , and electric vehicles were yellow.
In 1970, Japan's Nissan launched a rear-drive electric vehicle with only 7 horsepower, with a total length of 2.4 meters and a wheelbase of 1.5m. In terms of its appearance and power, it is not as good as the old man now.
It is worth mentioning that this car in Japan is still an lead-acid battery, but this car is equipped with a kinetic energy recycling system, which was quite advanced in the past.
I have to say that Japan's automobile technology is still quite awesome.
1972 Munich Olympics is the grandest since the Millennium Olympics entered the modern process. In order to show the global audience the forward-looking perspective and environmental awareness of the Bavarian industry, the BMW brand "electrically shocked" for the first time, creating a pure electric-driven sedan to assist the daily work of the event organizing committee.
is the 1602 in the figure below, which is a relatively classic electric car.
lightweight body design has become the best "oil-to-electric" platform. 12 sets of 12V lead-acid battery were introduced into the car, and the power unit was changed to a Bosch 32 kW DC motor. This power combination is enough to allow the BMW 1602 Electric electric vehicle to complete the full marathon guidance work - in fact, it did the same and completed it smoothly.
Postscript
Various attempts of electric vehicles from the 1950s to the 1970s. Although some companies are promoting electric vehicles, it is a pity that all their efforts are in vain. There is no trace of motivation to accept electric vehicles in the market.
Electric car companies, most of them are like the new American car-making force AMC, looking forward to the oil crisis. They hope that there will be an oil crisis to save electric vehicles. Unfortunately, these electric vehicles during this period did not support the two oil crises in the 1970s.
In the next issue, Machinery Finance will introduce to you the development of electric vehicles during the two oil crises in the 1970s.
