29 Oct A Short Lesson on the Long History of Electric Cars

Posted at 08:26h in education by

The Surprisingly Long History of Electric Cars is a new TED-Ed lesson that should be of interest to anyone who is curious about electric vehicles. The video begins with an explanation of the first electric cars and why they were overtaken by gasoline-powered internal combustion engines. The second half of the video explains the technological, economic, and political factors that have contributed to the increase in electric vehicle manufacturing in the last decade. Finally, the video concludes with a prediction about the future of electric vehicles. 

Applications for Education
TED-Ed has a good list of suggested questions to ask your students after they watch the video. I’d also add some questions to prompt student to think about the challenges and brainstorm solutions to the challenges facing electric vehicle sales in rural areas that don’t have the charging infrastructure of suburban and urban areas.
