1909 Baker All Electric Car Still Runs with all of the Original Parts

Jay Leno shows off his 1909 Baker complete with the original batteries(Thomas Edison alkaline power cells). Just another bit of proof that electric technology is already well established. The power of electric cars of today requires capping them off to keep them from going 300 miles per hour or more and the ranges are unlimited in the case of hydrogen fuel cells and 600 miles in the case of hybrids while battery alone can now go several hundred miles between charges. Jay has an excellent collection of automobiles and owns a Tesla electric car known for it's better than race car performance. Electric cars are no longer just ladies cars.

yes too bad about Barack Obama. First thing he should have done at the very least was halt the Drones (romote controlled killing aircraft) they have murdered over 700 people and 98 percent of them literally have been civilian men women and children. Less than 2 percent of them have had anything to do with rebels.

And he should have at the very very least ordered all the battery powered cars that bush had crushed to be rebuilt with or without the newest battery tech. There is a huge market for cars you can charge overnight and have a fuel cost of less than 15 cents a gallon translated from gas costs equivalent. And because they are all electric they produce no pollutants. He could have done this but he didn't.

We don't have much of a country left it's just crooks who lie to us and steal now trillions of dollars from us and our future generations. They murder us too.

Nice car Jay!


I can't understand why we can't build these cars that Jay Leno has demonstrated in the video. It's the original car from 1909 and all he's done is oil it up a bit!!! What is going on here? 25 miles per hour and 10-20 mile range would be great for going to a friends or going to the library or to pick up some groceries. It wouldn't cost very much to build these cars!!

It's as if our country is hellbent on bending over to the bribed politicians. What the people in Congress do is they get the job by lying to the American people and Bsing all the time then once they get it it's all about a big bribery scam. They do whatever the people who give them the biggest bag of cash want!!

We need to take our country back! I'm so sorry that I and so many others worked for the past two years for Obama who has turned around and been another Bush. I hope he changes!! He needs to change first before we can have change. But if he doesn't we should forget about all the work we did electing him... he is pumping more money into the killing machine in Pakistan than he is to change us over to clean energy. He put up a damn trickle of electric cars starting in 2015! That isn't change! We had george bush and the crooked republicans crush our electric cars and now Obama should be in their ordering GM and others to build them at a rapid pace and flooding money into fuel cell development. GM HAS FUEL CELL CARS ON THE ROAD IN DETROIT AND OBAMA CUT THE FUNDING FOR FUEL CELL VEHICLES! We could make hydrogen from power we lose on the grid every night! Obama is a good man I just don't know how long it will take him to wake up before nothing is left of the USA. Stop stealing money and giving it to banks. We've given banks more money than they have made in profit for the past 100 years!! Now we just gave GM 50 Billion to avoid bankruptcy and loss of jobs and they took the money plus a lot more from TARP and they are still filing bankruptcy closing plants and firing workers!! Now Crysler has stolen the money and we have them being sold for pennies on the dollar to an Italian auto maker??? What the hell? When will people realize that the entire lot of politicians currently in office in Washington DC are CROOKS!! They are DESTROYING OUR COUNTRY!! MR CHANGE INCLUDED!!

Sorry for shouting but this is just ridiculous. Why not flood money into small companies like tesla motors, other small businesses and rag tag inventors? They could change or nation and blast our economy off overnight. Oh they don't bribe the politicians!! :p
