FIRM TO REVIVE 1907 ELECTRIC CAR THAT GOT 80 MILES BETWEEN CHARGES

EDMUNDS INSIDE LINE - The revival of the Detroit Electric brand apparently will have little or nothing to do with the Motor City. Zap, the California-based electric-car startup, and China Youngman Automotive Group will use the name on electric cars and buses in 2009, the two said in a joint announcement.

The two say they plan to build a special-edition electric vehicle based on the original Detroit Electric as a "tribute for the new name of the joint venture." The Zap Alias will also carry the Detroit Electric brand. . .

The Detroit Electric brand, which was in business from 1907-'39, is probably largely forgotten by post-modern consumers. The Detroit Electric, which was advertised as reliably getting 80 miles between battery recharges, was sold in the early part of the 20th century, mainly to women and physicians.
