@HannahHowe I saw one of these revolutionary electric cars at the Grampian Transport Museum, which is a fascinating labyrinth.

i wonder what kinda range they got on what sounds like a lead-acid battery?

Apparently it was quite the battle between electric and gas back then. Hybrids even came out. But the design of the gas motor improved and batteries were shit back then, so gas won.

*And the energy density of gasoline is unreal.
