While GM itself didn't exist, the companies that went into GM did exist and
some did produce electric cars for a time.

The best examples of electric cars still run at the Henry Ford Museum in
Dearborn, MI.  The date I remember is 1812 for those (but don't quote me on
that).  The museum even has a hybrid car from 1898.

But people need to remember that, at that time, the only paved roads were
within the city limits, greatly limiting the area where one could drive an
electic car - since they didn't have the power to go through things like deep
mud.
