Regarding the history of the Baker Electric Automobile: They were designed and marketed to women soon after their inception, as they didn't have the features which turned women off to new cars at the time, such as noise, fumes, and a crank-starter.

I suppose that would make it "Your Grandmother's PHEV"?
