If you want to see one of the very first ones all you have to do is visit International Rectifier in Temecula, CA. It's in their front lobby.

“Electric cars have been around for over a hundred years...”

Yep. Nikola Tesla’s was the best. It could go about 90mph all over the countryside powered by a little box he held in his lap that he plugged into car.

The’ve been around for longer than the gas car.

It’s only now have they started making any serious headway in being able to address the shortcomings of the battery issues.

The United States Postal Service has been experimenting with electric cars. They say they need more money to study if they are feasible.

And you’re right.. The first computer wasn’t ‘handheld’.

It was called the Eniac, designed in 1943 and went into operation in 1046.

“ENIAC contained 17,468 vacuum tubes, 7,200 crystal diodes, 1,500 relays, 70,000 resistors, 10,000 capacitors and around 5 million hand-soldered joints. It weighed more than 30 short tons (27 t), was roughly 8 by 3 by 100 feet (2.4 m × 0.9 m × 30 m), took up 1800 square feet (167 m2), and consumed 150 kW of power[”

You would need an awful big ‘hand’ to hold it! :0)
