Electric cars predate gasoline-powered cars.

Electric cars were actually more popular than gasoline-powered cars in the early days of automobiles. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, electric vehicles had advantages such as being quieter and easier to operate, making them a preferred choice for many drivers. However, as technology advanced and gasoline engines became more efficient and affordable, they eventually surpassed electric vehicles in popularity. Today, we are seeing a resurgence of electric cars as we strive to reduce carbon emissions and move towards more sustainable transportation options.
