Eco Factor: Vintage car propelled by lead acid batteries.
If you think that electric cars are a feat of modern automobile engineering, it’s time for you to think again. Check out this 1920 Milburn Electric, a beautiful antique vehicle that could be considered modern even by today’s standards. The vehicle features swappable battery tech, a DC charge port, a 20mph top speed and an all-electric range of 100miles.
Back in the day the vehicle’s cost was about $1000, which translates to around $11,000 today. The vehicle was billed as the first car that women could ride as it didn’t require any manly hand-cranking. This vintage beauty is owned by a 72-year-old retired electrician, Tom Henry, who now teaches courses on solar technology.
