Description

The idea of electric transportation has been around for nearly two centuries, from the intricate models of the 19th-century experimenters to the cars we drive today. Join the CAM’s Project Coordinator Dumaresq de Pencier as he steps back to the first century of the electric, from its birth as a scientific toy to the record-breaking motorized carriages of the early 1900s to its golden age before the First World War, and beyond.
