1914 Detroit Electric car drives silently away from its garage

[ajivins1]

 I remember seeing an old black and white movie about an elderly detective (possibly played by Sir Cedric Hardwicke) who had been a contemporary of Holmes. It was a fifties movie and he drove one of these. The joke was when he pulled up at a filling station he only asked for the tyrs to be filled-up...

The future of motoring right there.

Fake & gay. That thing was going downhill.

@gasfgiop agreed

This my friends, makes my blood boil when I think of all the lives lost over OIL! and other global natural resources ...

@SayNoToTaxCheats Don't be so mad... electric car technology was never viable until recently, and now it's here to stay!

From driveway to street in 9sec.

@heatfullrat Well, the driveway is long and narrow, you have to be careful x) Seriously, it was only in 1914.

Looks light years better that any Volt, Leaf and of course Prius.

[ShizoluckyShizostar]

@ShizoluckyShizostar ok, it's hardly an achievement.

[hydrolito]

@ShizoluckyShizostar The batteries wouldn't have lasted as long back then and it wouldn't have been as fast. Also a lot less electical outlets set up to recharge it, now only some major cities have recharging stations but eletric recharging stations might some day outnumber gas stations just as cell phones are now out selling lined phones.
