Henry Ford and Thomas Edison had been working for years to develop an affordable and practical electric automobile. They faced the challenge of creating a lightweight storage battery that could power the car for long distances without needing to be recharged. Ford believed they were close to a breakthrough and that electric cars could start being manufactured within a year.

Within a year, I hope, we shall begin the manufacture of an electric automobile. I don’t like to talk about
things which are a year ahead, but I am willing to tell you something of my plans. The fact is that Mr. Edison
and I have been working for some years on an electric automobile which would be cheap and practicable.
Cars have been built for experimental purposes, and we are satisfied now that the way is clear to success.
The problem so far has been to build a storage battery of light weight which would operate for long
distances without recharging. Mr. Edison has been experimenting with such a battery for some time”
