Description

The Detroit Electric was the most popular electric car in the world. From 1907 to 1939, thousands of electric cars were built, mostly for people who wanted a car that was easier to operate than a car with a gasoline engine. Power came from a rechargeable battery, which usually gave 80 miles' range, with a top speed of 20 miles per hour being adequate for the city driving conditions under which most Detroit Electrics were used. The 1913 Detroit Electric, such as this one in Roanoke, was one of the first cars to use curved glass in its windows, which was a major technological advance. Many Detroit Electric cars are preserved, and a few are still in working order.
