First Porsche Was Electric - please merge with earlier thread
This is kinda' fun!
World's first Porsche uncovered--and it's electric - chicagotribune.com
Quote:
At just under 3,000 pounds, the P1 weighs as much as your modern compact sedan, but is nearly a third the length. Its top speed is 21 miles an hour, while cruising speed is a more moderate 15 mph. Its 49-mile range is impressive considering many modern electric cars can only manage about 80 to 100 miles.
Porsche raced his car in 1899 in a 24-mile, all-electric competition and crossed the finish line with three passengers 18 minutes ahead of his nearest competitor.
