Still more weight is saved because of the lighter construction possible throughout the entire car.
you do not waste current moving useless weight.
With a Detroit Electric Commercial Vehicle there is no expense for power except when the car is actually running. The driver cannot leave the motor running when he stops the car. This vehicle is easily handled in congested traffic. Various speeds are obtained by the use of one lever. There are no gears to shift or clutch to handle.
