Electric Vehicles in the Early 1900s

What???

I am catching up on some real estate reading tonight. An article about how real estate agents are learning to love electric vehicles (EV) turned into a history lesson.

I love learning; I’m constantly listening to Podcasts at home while catching up on work, chores, etc. I can’t believe I never knew that EVs existed in the early 1900s–primarily by wealthy folks in New York, but, nevertheless–electric. Again I say, what???

In today’s dollars, a 1900s vehicle cost about $33k. If you’d like to read some interesting info about early 1900s EVs, click here. The article was written by a publication called the Western New York Heritage. In addition to a great read, there are terrific photos!

Thanks for reading! –Kari
