Lead-acid rechargeable batteries were invented in 1859, which allowed for the beginning of the journey towards electric vehicles. In 1881, the design of these batteries were improved and allowed them to be mass produced. This meant that there was potential there for electric vehicles to be developed and even be available to the mass public. In the UK, Thomas Parker built the first practical electric car in 1884.

It certainly seems the EV market will be fast expanding in the next seven years, past 2022 towards other 2025 targets.
