"In the late 1890s electric vehicles (EVs) outsold gasoline cars ten to one. EVs dominated the roads and dealer showrooms. Some automobile companies, like Oldsmobile and Studebaker actually started out as successful EV companies, only later did they transition to gasoline-powered vehicles. In fact, the first car dealerships were exclusively for EVs."

Back in the 1890s non-the-less!
"1912: 38,842 EVs on the road. Horse drawn “tankers” deliver gasoline to gas stations. EVs perform well in snow."
