ELECTRIC EVOLUTION
@rsp_ingram
CAST your mind back to 2011 and the launch of the original Nissan Leaf. Widely regarded as the first truly mainstream electric car, the Leaf, even with its sub-100-mile real-world range, set the benchmark all future EVs had to meet, and which most modern electric cars have now long since surpassed. Indeed, the Ford Mustang Mach-E, one of the latest models on the market, has an official range of up to 335 miles.
But while Nissan may have opened the public’s eyes to electric motoring, and the Mach-E has built significantly on the ground broken by that firm, the Leaf was far from the earliest foray into zero-emission transport. For that, you’d have to look to electrical engineer
