Electra was an American automobile manufacturer that operated briefly in the early 20th century. Founded in 1913 in Chicago, Illinois, the company was originally known as the Storage Battery Power Company. Its primary focus was on the production and supply of batteries and components for the electric vehicle industry.
In a notable departure from its core business, Electra advertised a complete electric car for a single year. This vehicle was a two-seater roadster, which was priced at $750. Despite its brief foray into car manufacturing, Electra's contribution to the electric vehicle sector during its operational period highlighted the early interest in electric mobility in the United States. However, the company did not sustain its automotive production beyond this initial offering.
