Lohner Porsche : 1899
https://cartype.com/pages/2417/lohner_porsche__1899


Quote:
The first hybrid car.

The up to 56 km/h (35 mph) fast carriages broke several Austrian speed records, and also won the Exelberg Rally in 1901 with Porsche himself piloting a front-wheel drive hybrid specimen.................

In 1902, he was drafted into military service. He served as a chauffeur to Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, the crown prince of Austria whose assassination sparked World War I a mere decade later.

Dr Ferdinand Porsche Builds Electric Car

It’s strange the way things go around in circles. The Poet T.S. Eliot wrote in 1941 that “we shall not cease from exploration. And the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started. And know the place for the first time.” The Porsche motor company is rolling out its ‘first electric car’. Did you know their founder Dr Ferdinand Porsche beat them by 120 years?

Quote:
Ferdinand Porsche worked with Jakob Lohner to produce the company’s first electric car in 1898. He engraved the symbol ‘P1’ on all the key components, signifying he had made them. The motive power for the ‘Porsche 1’ comprised hub electric motors on the front wheels under battery power.
