The GE Delta experimental electric car was ugly, but could achieve 55mph and had 40 miles of range using nickel-iron batteries.In 1974, Sebring in Florida made a car called Citicar with two doors, two seats, a 2.5-horsepower DC motor from General Electric, and 36 volts worth of lead-acid batteries. It had a top speed of about 25mph and was really just a glorified golf cart, only uglier.
