If this is all the information that can be here, perhaps merging this material into Electric Vehicle Company would be appropriate? NickelShoe 16:33, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
The article says the Runabout cost $750 and then the next paragraph says is cost $850. Which is correct? Or were both correct but in different years? The Autoweek reference says $850. Can't see any reference for the $750 figure. Stepho talk 07:46, 9 May 2012 (UTC)
This was a brand name but there is absolutely no sign of any business called Columbia Automobile Company. See the ads categorised under this imaginary business name and then look at the other names in the article. I've been trying to make sense of it for Wikimedia so don't trust what I say in the Wikimedia description, I've tossed it in.
I'd say more research needed! Eddaido ( talk) 00:37, 13 September 2014 (UTC)
The Columbia Runabout is described as having twenty 'batteries'. Battery here really means 'cell', the basic 2V lead-acid unit with its own filler cap. Cells can be packaged in various ways to make a battery. Most people think of a battery as a self contained item, like a 6V battery with three cells in series. The Baker Electric car specification gives the number of 'cells' not batteries, and I think cell should be here used instead of less clear term battery. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.217.200.163 ( talk) 06:24, 21 February 2015 (UTC)
