The disadvantages [of the electric car] are that it is not suitable for long drives, heavy roads, or hilly country. On one charge of the battery the average car will run from 100 to 150 miles, depending upon the speed of the car and the condition of the roads. If the car is run at high speed, the battery will not drive the car so far as it will if it is run at a moderate rate. This car is also limited to localities where there are facilities for charging the storage batteries.
