The 1893 vehicle was the first electric car made in Canada. It was built in Toronto, Ontario, by Frederick Fetherstonaugh, a patent lawyer, and William Still, an electric engineer.--Chief tin cloud (talk) 10:32, 11 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The Brougham appears as a 1912 Tate Electric. The Tate Electric Co. as a subsidiary of Tate Accumulator Co. of Walkerville, Ont. The company made electric automobiles and light trucks from 1912 until 1915. Assets were bought in 1916 by Chandler. It made perfect sense to show the first and the newest Canadian electric car at the show.--Chief tin cloud (talk) 08:23, 13 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
