Credit for inventing the first modern electric car is commonly attributed to Thomas Davenport, an American inventor. In 1835, Davenport built a small electric vehicle powered by non-rechargeable batteries. Although its design was primitive and did not have a significant impact on its time, it is recognized as one of the pioneers in the development of electric vehicle technology.
