ʻO ka moʻaukala o ka brand Detroit Electric

Hana ʻia ka mīkini kaʻa Detroit Electric e ka ʻOihana Kamupene Uila uila. Ua hoʻokumu ʻia ia ma 1907 a lilo koke i alakaʻi i kāna ʻoihana. Hoʻolālā ka ʻoihana i ka hana ʻana o nā kaʻa uila, no laila nona kahi niche ʻokoʻa i ka mākeke hou. I kēia lā, hiki ke ʻike ʻia nā mana he nui i hoʻokuʻu ʻia i nā makahiki mua o ka noho ʻana o ka ʻoihana ma nā hale hōʻikeʻike kaulana, a hiki ke kūʻai ʻia i nā mana kahiko no nā kālā nui, nā mea ʻohiʻohi a me nā poʻe waiwai nui wale nō ke loaʻa. 

Ua lilo nā kaʻa i hōʻailona o ka hana kaʻa ma ka hoʻomaka o ke kenekulia 2016 a lanakila i ka hoihoi maoli o ka poʻe aloha kaʻa, ʻoiai he ʻano maoli ia i kēlā mau lā. I kēia lā "Detroit Electric" ua manaʻo ʻia ʻo ia ka mōʻaukala, ʻoiai ʻo ka ʻoiaʻiʻo i ka XNUMX hoʻokahi wale nō hiʻohiʻona o nā kaʻa uila o kēia mau lā i hoʻokuʻu ʻia i ka nui o ka nui. 

Hoʻokumu a hoʻomohala ʻia ʻo Detroit Electric

Ua hoʻomaka ka moʻaukala o ka ʻoihana i ka makahiki 1884, akā laila ua ʻike maikaʻi ʻia ia ma lalo o ka inoa ʻo "ʻOihana Kamaliʻi Anderson", a i ka makahiki 1907 ua hoʻomaka ʻo ia e hana ma ke ʻano he "Anderson Electric Car Company". Aia ka hana ma ʻAmelika, ʻAkekika. I ka mua, hoʻohana nā kaʻa uila Detroit Electric i nā paukū acid-kēpau, i kēlā mau lā he waiwai maikaʻi loa ma ke kumukūʻai kumukūʻai. No kekahi mau makahiki, no ka uku hou (ʻo ia ka $ 600), hiki i nā ʻona kaʻa ke hoʻouka i kahi pākana hao-nickel iʻoi aku ka ikaika.

A laila, ma ke kāki hoʻokahi pākahi, hiki i ke kaʻa ke kalaiwa ma kahi o 130 mau kilomita, akā ʻoi aku ke kiʻekiʻe o nā kiʻi maoli - a i 340 mau kilomita. Hiki i nā kaʻa uila Detroit uila ke kiʻi i nā wikiwiki o ka oi ma mua o 32 kilomita i kēlā me kēia hola. Eia nō naʻe, no ke kalaiwa ʻana i ke kūlanakauhale i ka hoʻomaka o ke kenekulia XNUMX, he hōʻailona maikaʻi loa kēia. 

ʻO ka pinepine, kūʻai nā wahine a me nā kauka i nā kaʻa uila. ʻO nā mea ʻokoʻa me nā ʻenekini kuni kūloko kahi mamao loa i ka poʻe āpau, no ka mea i mea e hoʻomaka ai ke kaʻa, pono nui ka hoʻoikaika kino. ʻO kēia ma muli o ka nani o nā hiʻohiʻona a nani hoʻi, he aniani aniani, a pipiʻi hoʻi e hana. 

Piʻi ka pihi i ke kaulana i 1910, ke kūʻai aku ka ʻoihana mai 1 a i 000 kope i kēlā me kēia makahiki. Hoʻohuli pū kekahi i ka kaulana o nā kaʻa uila ka uku nui o ka penikala, i ala aʻe ma hope o ke Kaua Honua Mua. ʻAʻole kūpono wale nā ​​hiʻohiʻona Detroit Electric, akā maʻalahi hoʻi i nā ʻōlelo o ka lawelawe. I kēlā mau lā, na John Rockefeller lāua, ʻo Thomas Edison, a ʻo Clara ka wahine a Henry Ford. I ka hope, hāʻawi ʻia kahi noho keiki kūikawā, kahi e holo ai a hiki i ka wā ʻōpio.

I ka makahiki 1920, ua hoʻokaʻawale ʻia ka ʻoihana i ʻelua mau ʻāpana. I kēia manawa ua hana ʻokoʻa nā kino a me nā mea uila mai kekahi i kekahi, no laila ua kapa ʻia ka inoa o ka hui makua "The Detroit Electric Car Company".

ʻO ka wai a me ke ala hou ʻana

I nā 20s, ua emi nui ke kumukūʻai o nā kaʻa me nā ʻenekini kuni kūloko, a ua hōʻemi ʻia ka kaulana o nā kaʻa uila. I kēia manawa i ka makahiki 1929, ua ʻino loa ke kūlana me ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka Great Depression. A laila ʻaʻole i faila ka ʻoihana i ka panakalupa. Hoʻomau ka hana a nā limahana me nā kauoha hoʻokahi wale nō, a ua ʻuʻuku lākou i ka helu.  

ʻAʻole ia a hiki i ka hāʻule ʻana o ka mākeke kūʻai holoholona i 1929 ua maikaʻi ʻole nā ​​mea. Ua kūʻai ʻia ka Detroit Electric hou loa ma 1939, ʻoiai ua loaʻa nā mana he nui a hiki i ka 1942. I ka noho ʻana o ka ʻoihana holoʻokoʻa, ua hana ʻia nā kaʻa uila he 13.

I kēia lā, hiki i nā kaʻa hana maʻamau ke loaʻa ka laikini no ka mea ʻo ka wikiwiki o 32 kilomita i kēlā me kēia hola e manaʻo ʻia he haʻahaʻa loa. Hoʻohana wale ʻia lākou no nā wahi pōkole a ma nā hihia kakaikahi, no ka mea aia nā pilikia me ka hoʻololi ʻana i nā paila. ʻAʻole hoʻohana nā mea hoʻohālikelike iā lākou no nā hana pilikino, kūʻai pinepine ʻia lākou ma ke ʻano he ʻāpana o nā hōʻiliʻili a ma ke ʻano he wahi hōʻikeʻike. 

I ka 2008, ua hoʻihoʻi ʻia ka hana o ka ʻoihana e ka hui ʻAmelika "Zap" a me ka hui Kina "Youngman". A laila hoʻolālā lākou e hana hou i kahi kaʻina o nā kaʻa i kaupalena ʻia, a i ka 2010 e hoʻomaka i ka hana piha. Ua hoʻomaka pū ka hana e hoʻonui i nā kūʻai aku o nā kaʻa uila hou, e like me nā sedan a me nā kaʻa ʻōhua.

I ka 2016, ua hōʻike ʻia kahi kope o ka "Detroit Electric" ma ka mākeke ma ke ʻano "SP: 0". Ua lilo ka roadster ʻelua noho i mea hoʻonāukiuki hoihoi hou, a he 999 mau kaʻa i hana ʻia: kaupalena ʻia ka hāʻawi. Hiki ke loli ke kumukūʻai o kēlā me kēia mea hou mai ka 170 euro a i ka 000 euro, hiki ke hoʻololi i ka nui ma muli o ka hoʻolālā o ke kaʻa, kona hoʻonaninani kūloko a me ka ʻāina kūʻai. Loiloi ka poʻe loea iā "SP: 200" ma ke ʻano he hoʻopukapuka waiwai, ʻoiai ua hiki ke lilo i kaao i loko o kekahi mau makahiki wale nō. He kaʻa pipiʻi kēia i loaʻa nā hoʻokūkū koʻikoʻi: nā kaʻa uila mai Tesla, Audi, BMW a me Porsche Panamera. ʻAʻole ʻike ʻia ke kūlana o ka ʻoihana i kēia manawa, a ʻaʻohe nūhou ma ka pūnaewele official mai 000. 

Hōʻikeʻikeʻikeʻike Detroit Electric

Ke holo nei kekahi mau kaʻa Detroit Electric, akā ʻo ka hapa nui o lākou e hana wale ma ke ʻano he mau hale hōʻikeʻike i mea e mālama ai i nā ʻano hana a me nā paila. Ma ka Edison Technology Center ma Schenectady, hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike i kahi kaʻa uila hana a hoʻomaikaʻi hou ʻia e ka College College. 

Aia kekahi hiʻohiʻona e like me ia ma Nevada, ma ka National Automobile Museum. Ua hana ʻia i ka makahiki 1904, a mai ia manawa ʻaʻole i hoʻololi ʻia nā bateri i loko o ke kaʻa, a ua paʻa pū nō hoʻi ʻo ko Edison pākeke hao-nickel. Hiki ke ʻike ʻia kekahi mau kaʻa ʻē aʻe ma ka Hale Hōʻikeʻike ʻo AutoWorld ma Brussels, ma ka German Autovision a ma ka Hale Hōʻikeʻike Mīkini Australia. 

Hiki i ka palekana o nā kaʻa ke hoʻohiwahiwa i nā malihini kipa e like me he mea hou lā. ʻO nā hiʻohiʻona i hōʻike ʻia ma mua o 100 mau makahiki, no laila koi lākou āpau i kahi mālama kūikawā.
