A nice tidbit from part 5 of the Planet Money series on oil. They mention that Jay Leno owns a Baker Electric car from 1909. I couldn’t resist a peek at what it looked like and wow is it more advanced than I imagined. Check out the video and imagine how different things would have been if industry had spent the last 100 years on battery cars rather than perfecting the issues with petrol.
