Electric car from 1910. The Detroit Model D could travel 340 km at a maximum speed of 32 km/h, a normal speed for the time.



It had a rechargeable lead-acid battery.



The Anderson company built 13,000 electric cars between 1907 and 1939



The Detroit Electric was sold primarily to drivers and doctors who wanted reliable, immediate starting without the laborious manual crank starting required with early internal combustion engine cars.



A subtle example of this car's design refinement was the first use of a curved window glass in a production car, a feature that was expensive and complex to manufacture.



A car that may have been the harbinger of a different future, but was displaced by gasoline cars. https://image.nostr.build/acced724e44d281eec7542abb3dcd933c6d6460067ff87bd59255926131f2954.jpg
