It might be a while before today's EVs can be bought for that little. Unfortunately the other two cars that Edison built have vanished, making the survivor priceless.Įven back in the day, its price of £300 would have made it twice the cost of a contemporary gasoline car, though conspicuously good value in today's money having taken inflation into consideration, with a price of little over $10,000. Unique in appearance, lacking a large engine compartment like the Edison's contemporaries, the restoration revives an important vehicle from a time when many were experimenting with the best methods of vehicle propulsion, with electric, gasoline and steam all taking their place on the streets. Edison's car might not be much of a performance machine compared to even the tardiest of modern EVs but with two 15-volt batteries and a 30-volt electric motor, its top speed of 25 miles per hour was more than competitive in its heyday.
