After receiving a patent for a lead-acid battery in 1903, Oliver Parker Fritchle established the Fritchle Electric Storage Battery Company in Denver, Colorado. The company produced its first electric car in 1905. In 1908, Fritchle embarked on a cross-country journey to promote the car's speed and its ability to travel 100 miles or more in one day.
