Museum show
The history of electric cars is going on display at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History with two "electrifying cars" from the early 20th century. A 1904 Columbia electric runabout (shown) and a 1913 Ford Model T touring car -- along with other objects, including a battery charger for General Motors' EV1 -- are on view through January.
