Media was an American electric automobile built in 1899 and 1900 in Media, Pennsylvania.[1]
History
Media Carriage Works, established in 1895 built to order an electric runabout on 1899. The company decided to enter series production and made arrangements with the Pullen Battery & Electrical Manufacturing Company of Philadelphia.
The Pullen battery was used in the Media, a 900-pound runabout. Media offered versions of this vehicle for sale at $1,100 in 1900.[1] The Media had a running range of thirty-five miles on a single charge and a top speed of 12 mph. Media Carriage Works may have built occasional Media's after 1900, but returned to the carriage trade.[1]
