Interesting also by the early 1900s a company called "Electric Vehicle company" was running up to 1,000 electric taxicabs on the streets of New York City.
Also in early 1900s, a Baker Electric was part of the first White House fleet of cars. President William Howard Taft changed things up at the White House, converting the stables there to a garage and purchasing a four-car fleet on a $12,000 budget (equivalent to $326,844 in 2017).
