Catch, make or grow everything you can.
in 1905 electricity to charge the Waverly would only be available in big cities, but gasoline (like today) is energy dense and easier to depoly where it was needed. In 1905, before cars became widespread, people lived close to where they worked, and didn't even see a need for a car.Yep, it was too expensive for the time even though it had none of the mechanical issues of gas motors.
I suspect that when big oil decided gas cars would be huge revenue they killed off the EV then like they did for many years.
I like the design of the Waverly and could be a project with some Ebike hub motors and controls I no longer need.
Standard Oil was broken up by the US Supreme court in 1911 as an anti monopoly measure. one of the many resulting "smaller" firms later became Exxon-mobile (LOL)
