Our “Museum Live” events encourage participants to join us onsite or online as we address compelling topics related to America’s Transportation Experience. Our fall Museum Live webcast, “The Watts of Yesteryear: Electric Cars from the Early 20th Century,” focuses on electric-powered vehicles’ innovative and unique history. Register now and join us onsite or online on Saturday, November 9th, at 11 A.M. ET.

Electric cars have been a hot topic recently, but their history dates back to the 1800s. Host Jon Seltenheim introduces Kevin A. Wilson, author of The Electric Vehicle Revolution. Wilson, a writer for Autoweek and Car and Driver, presents an overview of the electric car market from the late 1800s through the early 1920s. Then, representatives from The Henry Ford Museum, The Studebaker Museum, The Boyertown Museum of Historic Vehicles, and The Tampa Bay Auto Museum share insights about the early electric vehicles in their collections.

A 1919 Milburn Light Electric Model 27L “opera coupe” will be on display at the Museum courtesy of the Boyertown Museum of Historic Vehicles.
