When electric cars were for women
IEEE Spectrum revisits the early days of the automobile, when electric cars were marketed primarily to women in the early 1900s. Electric vehicles were prized for being clean, quiet and easy to operate compared to hand-cranked gasoline cars, leading makers to target female drivers, while petrol cars were framed as rugged and masculine. The history is drawing attention amid today's electric vehicle boom.
Why now: The parallels between early electric cars and today's EV market make the forgotten history newly relevant.
