Original: GM's 1969 XP 512E Concept Car Was A Tiny EV With A 58-Mile Range

General Motors built the XP 512E concept car in 1969, a compact electric vehicle that could travel about 58 miles on a charge. Coverage of the long-forgotten prototype highlights how GM was experimenting with battery power decades before the modern EV era, drawing comparisons between its modest range and today's electric cars.
