From Tesla to legacy automakers — how much do you know about the EV revolution?
Global EV sales exceeded 14 million units in 2023, and the average battery pack cost has dropped from $1,200/kWh in 2010 to about $139/kWh. From the surprisingly early history of electric cars to the modern rivalry between Tesla and BYD, this quiz covers the full story of electric vehicles — past, present, and future.
Each round presents 10 randomized multiple-choice questions drawn from a pool of 50, so every playthrough is different. You get instant feedback with explanations after each answer, plus a shareable score at the end.
You'll explore the surprising early history of electric vehicles dating back to the 1830s, the rise and fall of the GM EV1, Tesla's founding story, battery chemistry breakthroughs from NMC to LFP to solid-state, the global charging infrastructure race, Norway's world-leading EV adoption, and BYD's challenge to Tesla's dominance.
The first crude electric carriage was built by Robert Anderson of Scotland around 1832–1839. Thomas Parker of England built a more practical production electric car in 1884. Electric vehicles actually predated gasoline cars and were quite popular in the early 1900s before the Ford Model T and cheap gasoline shifted the market.
The Tesla Model 3 is the best-selling electric vehicle in history, with over 2 million units sold since its launch in 2017. It made electric vehicles accessible to a much broader market with its starting price well below that of Tesla's earlier models.
EV battery pack costs have fallen from approximately $1,200 per kWh in 2010 to about $139 per kWh in 2023 — a decline of roughly 88%. This dramatic cost reduction has been the single biggest factor making electric vehicles increasingly affordable and competitive with gasoline cars.
