EV's actually had more market share than ICE's back in the early 20th century.


c. 1920

A Detroit Electric car drives on a mountain road between Seattle and Mount Rainier, Washington.



Now it is possible for an owner of an electric to install his own charging plant in his stable.
NEW YORK TIMES, C. 1910








1909

Electric vehicles recharge at a power substation.


c. 1895

Thomas Edison poses with his first electric car, the Edison Baker, and one of its batteries.

[ Sadly for Edison, the government didn't pay people to buy his EV's like they do Musk's. ]
