Umlando wohlobo lweDetroit Electric

Uhlobo lwemoto iDetroit Electric lukhiqizwa yi-Anderson Electric Car Company. Yasungulwa ngo-1907 futhi ngokushesha yaba umholi embonini yayo. Le nkampani igxile kakhulu ekukhiqizeni izimoto ezisebenza ngogesi, ngakho-ke iphethe i-niche ehlukile emakethe yanamuhla. Namuhla, amamodeli amaningi akhishwe eminyakeni yokuqala yokuba khona kwale nkampani angabonakala eminyuziyamu ethandwayo, futhi izinhlobo zakudala zingathengwa ngezizumbulu ezinkulu, ezingathengwa kuphela abaqoqi nabantu abacebile kakhulu. 

Izimoto zaba wuphawu lokukhiqizwa kwezimoto ekuqaleni kwekhulu lama-2016 futhi zathola isithakazelo sangempela sabathandi bezimoto, ngoba zazinomuzwa wangempela ngalezo zinsuku. Namuhla, "iDetroit Electric" isivele ibhekwa njengomlando, yize ngo-XNUMX kukhishwe imodeli eyodwa kuphela yezimoto zikagesi zesimanje ngamanani alinganiselwe. 

IDetroit Electric yasungulwa futhi yathuthukiswa

Umlando wenkampani waqala ngo-1884, kodwa-ke wawusaziwa kangcono ngaphansi kwegama elithi "Anderson Carriage Company", kwathi ngo-1907 waqala ukusebenza njenge- "Anderson Electric Car Company". Ukukhiqizwa kwakutholakala eMelika, eMichigan. Ekuqaleni, zonke izimoto zakwaDetroit Electric zazisebenzisa amabhethri e-lead-acid, ngalezo zinsuku ayewumthombo omuhle ngentengo engabizi. Kwaphela iminyaka eminingana, ngemali engeziwe (eyayingu- $ 600), abanikazi bezimoto bangafaka ibhethri lensimbi elinamandla kakhulu.

Ngemuva kwalokho, ngokushaja kwebhethri okukodwa, imoto ibingahamba cishe amakhilomitha ayi-130, kepha izibalo zangempela ziphakeme kakhulu - zifinyelela kumakhilomitha angama-340. Izimoto zakwaDetroit Electric zingafinyelela izivinini ezingekho ngaphezu kwamakhilomitha angama-32 ngehora. Kodwa-ke, ngokushayela edolobheni ekuqaleni kwekhulu lama-XNUMX, lokhu bekuyinkomba enhle kakhulu. 

Imvamisa, abesifazane nodokotela bathenga izimoto zikagesi. Izinhlobonhlobo ezinezinjini zangaphakathi zomlilo zazingatholakali kuwo wonke umuntu, ngoba ukuze uqale imoto, kwakudingeka umzamo omkhulu womzimba. Lokhu kwakudalwa nawukuthi amamodeli ayemuhle kakhulu futhi enobuhle, enengilazi egobile, okwakubiza kakhulu ukuyenza. 

Umkhiqizo wafinyelela phezulu ekuthandeni ngo-1910, bese kuthi ngonyaka inkampani ithengise kusuka kumakhophi ayi-1 000 kuya ku-2 000. Okunye okwaba nomthelela ekuthandweni kwezimoto zikagesi kwakuyinani elikhulu likaphethiloli, elenyuka ngemuva kweMpi Yezwe Yokuqala. Izinhlobo zeDetroit Electric bezingavumi nje kuphela, kepha futhi zingabizi ngokwensizakalo. Ngalezo zinsuku, zaziphethwe nguJohn Rockefeller, uThomas Edison, kanye nonkosikazi kaHenry Ford uClara. Kulesi sakamuva, kunikezwe isihlalo esikhethekile sengane, lapho umuntu angakwazi ukugibela khona kuze kufike ebusheni.

Kakade ngo-1920, inkampani yahlukaniswa ngemibandela yaba izingxenye ezimbili. Manje izidumbu nezinto zikagesi zenziwa ngokwehlukana, ngakho inkampani yabazali yaqanjwa ngokuthi "IDetroit Electric Car Company".

Ukumiswa nokuvuselelwa

Ngawo-20, izindleko zezimoto ezinezinjini zangaphakathi zomlilo zehla kakhulu, okwaholela ekwehleni kokuthandwa kwezimoto zikagesi. Kakade ngo-1929, isimo saba sibi kakhulu ngokuqala kokwehla Okukhulu Kwezomnotho. Ngemuva kwalokho inkampani yehlulekile ukufaka ifayili lokuqothuka. Abasebenzi baqhubeka nokusebenza ngama-oda owodwa, abesevele enamanani ambalwa.  

Kwaze kwaba yilapho ukuphahlazeka kwemakethe yamasheya ngo-1929 lapho izinto zaba zimbi kakhulu. IDetroit Electric yakamuva yathengiswa ngo-1939, yize amamodeli amaningi ayetholakala kwaze kwaba ngo-1942. Ngesikhathi yonke le nkampani ikhona, kwenziwa izimoto zikagesi eziyi-13.

Namuhla, izimoto ezingajwayelekile ezisebenzayo zingathola ilayisense ngoba isivinini samakhilomitha angama-32 ngehora sithathwa njengesiphansi kakhulu. Zisetshenziselwa amabanga amafushane kuphela futhi ezimweni ezingavamile, njengoba kunezinkinga ngokushintsha amabhethri. Abanikazi bamamodeli abazisebenzisi ngezinhloso zabo, bavame ukuthengwa njengengxenye yamaqoqo nanjengengcezu yomnyuziyamu. 

Ngo-2008, umsebenzi webhizinisi wabuyiselwa yinkampani yaseMelika i- "Zap" kanye nenkampani yaseChina i- "Youngman". Ngemuva kwalokho bahlela ukukhiqiza uchungechunge olulinganiselwe lwezimoto futhi, futhi ngo-2010 ukuqala ukukhiqizwa okugcwele. Umsebenzi usuqalile ukukhuphula ukuthengiswa kwezimoto ezintsha ezisebenza ngogesi, okubalwa kuzo ama-sedan namabhasi.

Ngo-2016, ikhophi ye "Detroit Electric" yavela emakethe kumodeli "SP: 0". I-roadster enezihlalo ezimbili isibe yisixazululo sesimanje esithandekayo, kukhiqizwe inani lezimoto ezingama-999: ukunikezwa kukhawulelwe kakhulu. Izindleko zobusha obunjalo zingahluka kusuka ku-170 euros kuya ku-000 euros, inani lingahluka ngokuya ngokwakhiwa kwemoto, umhlobiso wayo wangaphakathi nezwe lokuthenga. Ochwepheshe balinganisela i- “SP: 200” njengokutshalwa kwemali okunenzuzo, njengoba ikwazile ukuba yinganekwane eminyakeni embalwa nje. Le yimoto ebizayo enezimbangi ezinkulu: izimoto zikagesi ezivela kwaTesla, Audi, BMW nasePorsche Panamera. Isimo samanje senkampani asaziwa, futhi akuzange kube nezindaba kuwebhusayithi esemthethweni kusukela ngo-000. 

Imibukiso ye-Detroit Electric Museum

Ezinye izimoto zakwaDetroit Electric zisasebenza, kepha eziningi zazo zisebenza njengezicucu zemnyuziyamu ukugcina zonke izindlela namabhethri. E-Edison Technology Centre eSchenectady, ungabona imoto esebenza ngogesi evuselelwe ngokuphelele ephethwe yi-Union College. 

Esinye isampula esifanayo siseNevada, eNational Automobile Museum. Yakhishwa ngo-1904, futhi kusukela ngaleso sikhathi amabhethri awakashintshwa emotweni, nebhethri lika-Edison le-iron-nickel nalo lahlala. Ezinye izimoto ezimbalwa zingabonakala e-AutoWorld Museum eBrussels, eGerman Autovision naseAustralia Motor Museum. 

Ukuphepha kwezimoto kungahlaba umxhwele kunoma yisiphi isivakashi njengoba zibukeka zintsha sha. Zonke izinhlobo ezethulwe zineminyaka engaphezu kwengu-100 ubudala, ngakho-ke zonke zidinga ukunakekelwa okukhethekile.
