From Motor Magazine, May 1914. By the 1910s, many electric car manufacturers, Tate included, had begun marketing small, light electric runabouts, or sports cars, to a male clientele. Although these were often faster and had better range than larger, heavier electrics, they were still nowhere nearly as powerful as their gasoline competitors.
