  In fall of 1900, a man named Otto von Bachelle (a noted electrical engineer) made his first electric car. It was a small, compact car, and was only produced in small numbers. It did not survive after 1904. von Bachelle was last heard from in 1915. The cars could travel 35 miles (56 km) on one charge. Otto later became consulting engineer at Hupmobile.
