EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to December 1974, when Mr. John de Grunchy proudly showcased his groundbreaking invention - the Electric Car/Hybrid Car. In this snapshot, we witness his remarkable prototype, named Petelec, based on a Fiat 500. Mr. de Grunchy's creation was nothing short of revolutionary for its time. Combining the power of petrol and batteries, he claimed that it could achieve an impressive mileage of over 150 miles per gallon. This innovative concept aimed to reduce both fuel consumption and environmental impact. The image reveals the core components of Petelec: four heavy-duty 12-volt car batteries working in harmony with a robust 3-horsepower garden rotorvator engine. The amalgamation of these elements brought forth a vehicle that promised efficiency without compromising performance. As we delve into this photograph from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to an era where electric cars were still considered unusual inventions rather than mainstream modes of transport. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our relentless pursuit of sustainable solutions even decades ago. Although commercial use is not mentioned here, one can only imagine the excitement and anticipation surrounding Mr. John de Grunchy's creation at that time. This image encapsulates a momentous chapter in automotive history when pioneers like him paved the way for future advancements in electric vehicles – ultimately shaping our present-day transportation landscape.
