Studebaker built a full line of electric vehicles in the early 20th century.
The company first started making bodies for the New York Electric Vehicle Co. in 1897, and then manufactured its own battery-powered passenger cars and commercial vehicles until fully switching to gas-powered automobiles in 1911.
Very few survive today, but the Studebaker National Museum has three early electrics in its collection.
