Rauch and Lang Electric Car

 


U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower in a 1914 Rauch and Lang Electric during the 1952 campaign The car was owned by his mother-in-law, Mrs. Elivera Dowd. 

Rauch and Lang electrics were capable of 16-20 mph and 50-100 miles on a charge. The price point was about 4 times higher than a Model T.  Referring to the previous post, these cars were not fitted with Edison's nickel iron batteries, though apparently Thomas Edison did own a R and L electric car at some point.
