About Ferdinand Porsche - Electric Automobile:

He was a true pioneer of electric mobility - more than 120 years ago, Ferdinand Porsche invented a wheel hub motor designed to power an electric car.

In 1899, Ferdinand Porsche (1875-1951) teamed up with Ludwig Loner, the manager of Lohner-Werke factory in Vienna, to develop an electric car they called "System Lohner-Porsche".

Its front wheels were driven by wheel hub motors with an output of around 3 PS each, the range was about 50 kilometres.

At the 1900 Paris Exhibition, the vehicle was presented as the "world’s first transmissionless car" and attracted a lot of attention.

To increase the range of the electric vehicle, which was very heavy due to its lead batteries, Porsche constructed the first hybrid automobile, the "Semper Vivus", with additional gasoline engines supplying more energy to the batteries and wheel hub motors.

However, the new technology did not catch on at the time.

His other projects included the Mercedes-Benz SS/SSK, Tiger I, Tiger II, the Elefant, Panzer VIII Maus and the Volkswagen Beetle among others.

More about Ferdinand Porche:

He was an Austro-Bohemian automotive engineer and founder of the Porsche AG, best known for creating the first gasoline–electric hybrid vehicle (Lohner–Porsche), the Volkswagen Beetle, the Auto Union racing car, the Mercedes-Benz SS/SSK, several other important developments and Porsche automobiles.

An important contributor to the German war effort during World War II, Porsche was involved in the production of advanced tanks such as the "VK 4501 (P)", the "Elefant" (initially called "Ferdinand") self-propelled gun, and the "Panzer VIII Maus super-heavy tank", as well as other weapon systems, including the V-1 flying bomb.

Porsche was a member of the Nazi Party and an officer of the Schutzstaffel (SS).

He was a recipient of the German National Prize for Art and Science, the SS-Ehrenring and the War Merit Cross.

Porsche was inducted into the International Motorsports Hall of Fame in 1996 and was named the Car Engineer of the Century in 1999.
