Virginia Scharff's Femininity and the Electric Car

Virginia Scharff 's "Femininity and Electric Car" in Virginia Scharff' s "Femininity and the Electric Car" studied electric cars, their history, and targeted customers. Pope manufacturing company produced 500 electric vehicles in 1897. According to Scharff, this was the company 's president, Colonel Albert Pope, decided to focus on a clean, quiet electric car rather than a "noisy or smelly gasoline". "(" Women and Electric Vehicles ", p. 75) The Pope Manufacturing Company clearly defines women as customers.

Electric vehicles are various electric vehicles (EV). The term "electric vehicle" refers to any vehicle propelled using an electric motor and "electric vehicle" generally refers to a vehicle that is electrically driven and has highway functions. Neighboring electric vehicles (NEV) in the United States, electric four wheel bikes in Europe, plug-in electric mini-cars or low-speed electric vehicles classified as urban type vehicles are limited in terms of weight, output and maximum speed. Some countries allow running on public roads and streets at a certain speed limit

When people think about electric cars, we consider transportation methods driven by electricity such as trains and trams. Their technical terms are electric cars. Burton (page 10) states that electric vehicles are defined not as ordinary vehicles using diesel engines and gasoline engines, but as at least partially electrically operated cars. Electric cars are driven by electric motors that draw electricity and fuel cells from batteries. Contrary to the general idea, electric vehicles have not been invented in the 21st century.

Electric vehicles are automobiles that draw power from one or more electric motors, which use electrical energy to store a battery or another energy storage device. Electric cars have a long history of development, the world's first car is an electric car. But electric vehicles have two serious drawbacks. The problem of energy technology and the limitation of mileage are around the 20th century. The problem of electric cars temporarily extinguished the public's eyes. Until recently, the price of natural gas has become more expensive and environmental pollution has become more serious; the government cautioned the development of green electric vehicles and began using electricity as fuel. Even though there are some problems left to be faced at present, the problem of energy technology and mileage restriction has been basically solved. In modern society, electric vehicles are increasingly popular
