The cars were advertised as reliably getting 80 miles (130 km) between battery recharging, although in one test a Detroit Electric ran 211.3 miles (340.1 km) on a single charge. Top speed was only about 20 mph (32 km/h), but this was considered adequate for driving within city or town limits at the time.
I would love to know the power capacity & range for these cars
From Wikipedia
Considering what roads were like at the time, and how far most people were from other things, 80 miles round-trip is plenty.
Heck, that’s plenty nowadays for a lot of people.
