sorry not sure where to post this as it is not really News, do we need an EV History section?

early electric motor cars go as far back as 1800s
driven by Damien Maguire I Senior (circa 1881)
yeah, even Clara Ford (Henry Ford's wife) drove a Detroit electric car until the 1910s

so let's meet the mid 60s 3,400 pound Electrovair, with a top speed of 80 MPH, and a range of 40 miles
powered by the 115 hp oil cooled three-phase AC induction motor
silver zinc batteries, 286 cells, 25 kWh, 520 volts
