In the late 1890s, the owner of Detroit Electric Company told his chief engineer, "Young man, that's the thing; you have it. Keep at it.Electric cars must keep near to power stations. The storage battery is too heavy. Steam cars won't do either, for they have to have a boiler and fire. Your car is self contained and carries its own power plant - no fire, no boiler, no smoke and no steam." Name the engineer, his idea and the owner of his company
