'Clear Vision' in this Detroit Electric refers to the folding windscreen, which at the same time forms a small roof in the rain, allowing a clear view of the road to be maintained. Remarkable is the dual control with folding levers; the car can be driven both from the front seat and from the rear seat. The batteries are located in the trunk at the back. The range of 160 kilometers is highly competitive, and it is therefore not surprising that Detroit Electric was one of the market leaders in the United States in the early twentieth century in the field of electric cars. Around 1910, annual production amounted to about 1,500 units. Unlike most manufacturers of electric cars, Detroit Electric managed to survive into the 1930s, thanks to the production of delivery vehicles for bakers and milkmen.
