Around the turn of the century there were batteries from Sony. With these batteries, Tesla joins the more electric cars on the road than combustion car industry in 2008 with a roadster; 200 kph top speed, ones.

The bridging solution comes 1972 The limits from the hybrid drive using the combustion engine and electricity. makes the breakthrough in 1997: The Prius is a million-seller. Electric drive is also possible without a battery: hydrogen and oxygen generate to growth electricity in a fuel cell that drives the car. In 2003, a Mercedes A-class F-Cell is the world’s first fuel cell pas- senger car to go into small-scale production. Since 2015, Toyota has produced the hydrogen model, Mirai. Electric mobility means drive from a fixed elec- tricity supply – trams, trains, trolley buses. But gasoline-power comes under pressure. The 1972 Club of Rome “limits to growth”: Finiteness of resources. 1974 oil crisis. The industry responds with rudimentary electric drives: A BMW 1602 Electro for the 1972 Olympics puts out just 43.5 hp. In a fleet test, the e-Transporters from Mercedes and VW cover only 60 to 80 kilometers. And the electric models of Opel, Mercedes and VW in a large-scale project on the German island of Rügen are based on existing cars. This is the wrong path.

2009 Motorsport

The milestones of electric mobility in racing: In July 2009, the first victory for a McLaren-Mercedes with hy- brid drive in Formula 1. In June 2012, the first Audi win with diesel-electric drive at Le Mans. In September 2014, FIA Formula E is launched as the first race series with electric drive. Schaeffler is one of the pioneers with the ABT Schaeffler Audi Sport team. June 2015 heralds the first overall victory of Rhys Millen’s electric race car against petrol-powered vehicles at Pikes Peak. September 2016: World record for electric drive by Fast Venturi with 549 kph in Bonneville.
