- Anderson Electric Company's interpretation of a parlour on wheels. A 14 battery electric car so women wouldn't have their arms torn from their torso just by wishing to drive to town.
Probably the most confortable and best upholstery car ever!
That car is absolutely beautiful. The interior looks like a living room. That's the way to travel!
That is a beautiful motor car.
This man took his time to do this right- he either has very understanding wife or money. 🤣
Thank you for sharing & explaining about this car. My grandfather was going to import these into New Zealand & I am fortunate to have original letters to and from the company. When I was given these I wondered how they worked, now I know.
LOL NOW I KNOW WHAT BACK SEAT DRIVER MEANS !!! :)
The price of all the batteries alone, is a deterrent right there against buying an electric vehicle!
To be onest, I would revive that brand with modern autonomes coaches.
Brilliant. Strange how when the world already had viable electric car designs, it opted for the snorting machines that have polluted most of the world. If only these early electric vehicles had been developed and refined!
If they had the solid state controls we have today, electric cars would have been more popular and reliable. Linear torque was a problem.
Great vedio.
Any contacts?
Thanks for the tour! Are those batteries essentially similar to today's car batteries? How would the motor compared to a motor that could be produced today? I'm not saying if you wanted a really fast motor, just something with the efficiency that was aimed at with that motor?
Thanks in advance
The batteries are similar to the lead acid batteries we use for power backup in out houses, although likely to have less energy density. The electric motor didn't change a lot after its inception, we had extremely powerful motors even in the 19th century. The biggest upgrade for this car would be a li-ion battery rather than a new motor.
Isnt this the same as Jay Leno Baker Electric car ?
DIFFERENT YR AND MODEL. HIS IS A 1909.
His is a Baker, this is a Detroit. Two different companies.
Though Jay Leno might have a Detroit Electric the electric car Jay had shown the most is a 1909 Baker Electric.
TBH if people had stayed with electric cars advances could have been made in batteries even befor the First World War. The Model T could have been an electric selling for $850 at the beginning and by the end $650.
HE CAMERAMAN, when doing a DOCUMENTARY how about showing the OBJECT rather than the NARRATOR?
He said the Batteries were used in Golf Cars?? That thing is a Golf Car 🤣
we chose smokey, stinky, noisy, rattly, oily, grimey, spark plugs, radiators, tailpipe, instead of a smooth clean technology way back in late 1890s ? whats wrong with humans?
Why? Because these early electric cars had a range of only about 60 miles and a top speed of 25 mph....and they were too expensive for average people to purchase.
@@SpockvsMcCoy for the era it was enough. Contemporary ICE cars were not the *heaven*. In the early days, using an ICE was not trivial. A lot of cars got engine seizure just because with cold motor you dared to let the engine run to high for 20 seconds . Not to mention the frequently engine maintenance that was required.
@@gasparinizuzzurro6306 Of course early combustion engine cars were high maintenance...but even a Ford Model T had a top speed of 40 mph and a range of over 200 miles with a full tank of gas.
@@SpockvsMcCoy an MTBF a lot lowes than a Detroit model.
The truth was that for the usual reason of profit the research on electrical tractions was stopped to flavor petrols ones.
We have lived happily ever after for many years with lead acid batteries until the arrival of mobile phones pushed us to more advanced technologies and within 10 years we made progress that we have not been able to make in 1 century.
if this process started one century ago, the future would have been different.
The ICE engines are the most inappropriate solution for the requirements of tractions. it is not by accident that they are used only on cars or trunks, Rails, Boat, Submarines, and other applications used electrical engines.
En ves de dos sillas al frente le meto un minibar completo
😂😂😂😂😂
LOLOLOL "They made ANTIQUE electric cars from 1907...." No, silly they did not make antique electric cars
Au contraire!😂
If he could afford it put in Lithium ion batteries.
Yeah. And maybe a controller to achieve more speed and mileage!
@@AndreLuiz-ip3fh YAS, And if the Detroit Electric chassis is big enough a Tesla electric motor and inverter.
