- chronogram 2y agoI think the comment refers to the Detroit Electric cars, because it was driven a lot by Clara Ford. I am guessing their range is due to them going 32kmh/20mph and being loaded with 530kg/1170lbs of batteries. https://www.thehenryford.org/collections-and-research/digital-collections/artifact/209957/ https://www.thehenryford.org/collections-and-research/digita...
- masklinn 2y agoBig batteries and low speeds? Also 80 was the advertised “reliable range”. The “normal” T had double to triple the range, at double the speed. and I don’t think there ever was an electric T, there were barebones prototype frames. What people call electric Ts are usually Detroit Electrics (the specs match).
