"GM Electrovair II" Brochure, 1966
01
Artifact Overview
General Motors' 1966 Electrovair II concept car was powered by battery packs in the vehicle's front and rear compartments. GM used silver-zinc batteries rather than conventional lead-acid units. Silver-zinc batteries were more expensive, but they were also lighter, which improved the Electrovair II's range. Still, the concept car weighed 800 pounds more than a gasoline-powered Corvair.
