EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the historic moment when the first electric cab was granted a license in the bustling streets of London, in the year 1897. Named after the manager of the Electric Cab Company, Berseys, these innovative vehicles were a marvel of the 19th century motoring world. Nicknamed 'hummingbirds' due to the distinctive sound they made, these electric cabs were a far cry from the horse-drawn carriages that dominated the city's streets at the time. The image, taken in 1904, captures the essence of a bygone era, with the electric cab standing proudly against the backdrop of London's iconic architecture. The vehicle's sleek design and futuristic features, such as the electric headlights and the absence of a horse or driver, make it a striking contrast to the horse-drawn carriages that were still common on the city's streets. The electric cab's arrival marked a significant milestone in the history of transportation in London, paving the way for the widespread adoption of electric vehicles in the city. This photograph is a testament to the ingenuity and vision of the pioneers of the electric vehicle industry and serves as a reminder of the transformative impact of technology on our daily lives. The Electric Cab Company's Berseys may no longer be on the streets of London, but their legacy lives on, inspiring new generations of innovators and visionaries to push the boundaries of what is possible in the realm of transportation.
