Related interesting tibid - car companies made tons of people believe that electric motors are basically their invention, and they’re leading innovation in that area.
- ricardobeat 5y agoHaven’t seen anyone claim they invented electric motors, after all they were used before the ICE, but I don’t think there’s any doubt around how much innovation car companies have brought to electric motors? Almost every single one uses a custom design for efficiency / reliability reasons.
- dreamcompiler 5y agoThere's one electric car company that named itself after the inventor of the motor they used. And he died about 60 years before the company was founded so I don't see them claiming to have invented motors. (Okay there's actually a second EV company that named themselves after the same inventor's first name, but they're a fraud.)
