The Buffalo Electric Vehicle Company was an American electric car manufacturing company from 1912 until 1915 located at 1219-1247 Main Street in Buffalo, New York. The motorcars were marked under the Buffalo brand. The company was formed by a merger of several electrical vehicle and allied companies which included:[1]
- Babcock Electric Carriage Company (whose founder Francis A. Babcock became Buffalo's president)
- Van Wagoner whose trucks were continued by the new company
- The Buffalo Automobile Station Company
- Buffalo Electric Carriage Company
- The Clark Motor Company
History
The company's automobiles were commonly marketed to affluent women as an alternative to the dangerous manual crank starting that was required with a gasoline vehicle. The company went out of business in 1916.[2]
The Buffalo Electric Vehicle Company Building is a historic automobile factory and showroom located at Buffalo in Erie County, New York. It was constructed in 1910–1911.[3] The building has been redeveloped as home to "Artspace Buffalo."
The company's factory and showroom was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.[4]
