The Henney Motor Company produced an electric vehicle, based on the French-made Renault Dauphine, in 1959 and 1960. The cruising speed was around 30 miles per hour, with a range of about 40 miles between charges. This sales catalog for the Henney Kilowatt provided answers to questions buyers had about the vehicle.
