But electricity was discovered in the 1700's... I doubt people in 1776 thought electric carriages were a possibility.
Electricity was discovered much earlier than 1776 but that misses the point.
To conceive of electric cars you must first conceive of "cars" and secondly you need to conceive of electricity as a motive force. Using electricity as a motive force is actually the reverse of generating electricity. This is a concept you need to understand before you can even understand the possibility of an electric car.
It's a huge jump from using steam to generate electricity to using electricity (from what source??) to create motion.
