History

In fall of 1900, a man named Otto von Bachelle (a noted electrical engineer[1]) made his first electric car.[2] It was a small, compact car, and was only produced in small numbers. It did not survive after 1904. von Bachelle was last heard from in 1915.[2] The cars could travel 35 miles (56 km) on one charge.[1] Otto later became consulting engineer at Hupmobile.[2][3]
