The commencement of hybrid technology was in 1665 when he believed that Ferdinand Verbiest a Jesuit priest and is working on a plan to create a simple four-wheeled vehicle started, the water was run through a horse-drawn. Then, in 1769, when the carriage was invented by water vapor. Even if the car is the speed of six miles an hour, it is still difficult to maintain sufficient steam for a long distance. And then it was the best British inventor Goldsworthy Gurney built a steam engine that successfully at 85-miles round trip out of ten times per hour. Then, in 1893 by Moritz Jacobi sailed a ship on the Neva, electric, electromagnetic motor with a force of horse. And on or around this year, when Robert Anderson of Aberdeen, Scotland, built the first electric vehicle. However, the vehicle has many problems, including a limited range and a battery, load the hard to find. Later, it was subsequently improved by David Salomon in 1870, when he developed an electric vehicle with an electric motor of light, but still lead to problems, a battery that can be easily recharged. Then in 1879 the first electric railway was built by Dr. Werner von Siemens.

The wheels of the vehicles were from an electric motor draws its power from the rails, isolated from ground and connected to a generator driven. And in the decade since the 1886 campaign, the active investors in London, the interest accrued on the development of an electric taxi. The project was led by a mass of cells 28 to drive a small electric motor. However, this did not come into regular use. Then came 1888, a construction company four cars for the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, which has a powerful engine and a 24-cell battery powered. Is presented in the same year, the hands of people in Brighton, England, three-wheeled electric car. Then in 1897 the company started with the electric taxis in London, the city will be powered with a regular service with a machine from a battery of 40 cells and three-horsepower electric motor to deliver. They called him the “Belsey Cab” by its inventor, Walter Belsey. The cab is fifty miles before the battery must be recharged. Come 1897, when Pope Manufacturing Company of Hartford, Connecticut, built around electric cars for a period of two years.
