(9) Steam was a tried and true energy source, having proved reliable for 10 powering factories and trains. Some of the first self-propelled vehicles in the late 1700s relied on steam; yet it took until the 1870s for the Select the correct answer. technology to take hold in cars. Part of this is because steam wasn't very practical for personal vehicles. Steam vehicles required long startup times How do the author's descriptions of steam, gas-powered, and electric vehicles connect ideas in paragraphs 9-11? - sometimes up to 45 minutes in the cold - and would need to be refilled with water, limiting their range.

They were quiet, easy to drive and didn't emit a smelly pollutant like the other cars of the time. Electric cars quickly became popular with urban residents - especially women. They were perfect for short trips around the city, and poor road conditions outside cities meant few cars of any type could venture farther.

(12) Many Innovators at the time took note of the electric vehicle's high demand, exploring ways to improve the technology. For example, Ferdinand Porsche, founder of the sports car company by the same name, developed an electric car called the P1 in 1898. Around the same time, he created the world's first hybrid electric car -- a vehicle that is powered by electricity and a gas engine. Thomas Edison, one of the world's most prolific inventors, thought electric vehicles were the superior technology and worked to build a better electric vehicle battery, Even Henry Ford, who was friends with Edison, partnered with Edison to explore options for a low-cost electric car in 1914, according to Wired.
