Battery Powered Rambler American, c. 1970.

AMC started working on battery-powered cars in the 1950s already, with a hybrid car project run jointly between AMC and Sonotone (the hearing aid manufacturer). This wasn't exactly new. Electric cars are older than internal combustion engines, and hybrid power sources were used in small warships in the 1890s already. But the auto industry is infamously resistant to change.

In the 60s, AMC partnered with Victor Wouk (considered to be the father of modern hybrids) to figure out how to use lithium in batteries to power a car. It didn't happen: lithium ion batteries wouldn't be figured out for some time, despite everyone and NASA trying to figure them out. Instead, they produced a 1969 Rambler American Station Wagon with a trunk full of Ni-Cad cells.

That is not this car. It IS a 1969 American, but clearly a two door.

Globe Electric (of Milwaukee) made a deal with Sears to sell automotive and radio batteries through the Sears Catalog in 1924. Rising demand convinced one of the owners of Globe to start the Union Battery Company (in Chicago) a year later. The two companies were merged in 1929. And rapidly became the largest manufacturer of replacement car batteries in the country. They remained the largest when they merged with Johnson Controls in 1978. Globe-Union was also, after a 1961 deal, the OEM supplier for AMC.

This photo was taken at the entrance to Globe-Union's headquarters (currently one of Johnson Controls' headquarters campuses) at 5757 N. Green Bay Ave in Glendale.

It's unclear what role AMC had in this car, but it set the Milwaukee Mile lap record for an electric car in October 1970.

Loaded down with 1200 pounds of standard car batteries in two banks, powering a 27 horsepower electric motor, shot the car around the track at the blistering speed of...

46.73 mph.

As configured the car could go about 50 miles on six hours of charging.

Which really isn't bad. Seriously.

Even though electric cars were going 100 kph (62 mph, considered an unattainable goal for cars at the time) at the end of the 19th century, those were flimsy little things with a lot more power to weight. Plus we have to consider the state of technology in 1970. Battery power hadn't changed much since those early electric cars. The type of chip we use for a wide array of power controls was only just developed and the microprocessor was a year in the future, so there was no fast charging and no digital power management. The illusive Li-ion batteries, which cut down on battery weight over lead acid or Ni-Cads, wouldn't be commercially available until 1991 after being in the R&D phase for 30 years, so it carried an additional car's weight in batteries.

Not bad, all things considered.

It's more surprising that with the ubiquity of electric cars in the early 20th century that one hadn't set a higher Milwaukee Mile track speed record, given that it opened in 1903

☀ Spotify shuffled to Sonotone by MC Solaar!

I've always been entranced by MC Solaar's works! He masters the language in a way that just keeps terraforming my mind everytime I listen to him - what I love the most about it is that I keep discovering new meanings in his lyrics. Incredible. For context, MC Solaar is an established musician, one of the absolute pillars who popularized rap music in France back in the 1990s. Sonotone was released in 2017 after more than a decade of inactivity from Solaar.

I would definitely suggest that you listen to the song (there are english subtitles in the official MV) to appreciate the rhythm of the lyrics!

☀ Favorite lyric + translation

Maintenant quoi? Tu veux que je fasse du jogging? Rattraper les années avec du bodybuilding? Mettre de l'anti-rides à la graisse porcine? Pass clean avec peeling et lifting Ça sonne faux, je veux le feu, la forme Déformer le monde monotone et morne Comme chaque printemps me pousse vers l'automne Vers le sonotone, j'perds le sonotone

Now what? You want me to go jogging? Make up for my past by pushing weight? Wear wrinkle cream made of pig fat? Pass for clean by peeling and lifting? It sounds wrong, I want the fire, the form, To deform, the monotony of this world As each Spring pushes me towards Autumn Towards the sonotone, I lose the sonotone

I believe I should be more vocal about this, but I am a fervent defender of aging. I don't believe we should just resign to aging, we should embrace the passage of time on our bodies and appreciate everything that comes with it. I passionately want people to not only accept, but also love the changes that time has always brought to each individual. Aging is a natural, unstoppable, constant process - and there is such a force behind these lyrics, with Solaar rejecting superficiality and embracing the fact that he is aging, after spending the first part of the song describing the changes on his body and in his life as society now views him as an old man, as a polar opposite of the fiery young rapper that he used to be in his golden days. What caught my attention is that he describes aging as a powerful process - not inflicted on his poor aging soul, but in the way that its strength is reshaping the world with its raw energy. I love that!!! Fuck yes, portray aging as an empowering process!!

This song opens with a seemingly resignated tone, where Solaar describes what is societally considered to be a "downfall" - the physical changes, multiplying medical exams and invasive procedures, kids (the demography who used to listen to his songs) are using the same language as he did back then to point out that he's just an old man, being told that his hard work and contribution to society is behind him, with the usual notions that maybe he didn't enjoy his youth as much as he should have, that maybe he failed his life. I like that the rest of the song is all about saying fuck off to that. Solaar reclaims aging as a person, reclaims aging as a former star, and covers all the thoughts that comes with aging in a society that viscerally rejects this process.

CW - mentions of racism and Ku Klux Klan

☀ Also I'd like to give honorable mention to this part

J'suis prêt à appeler les forces des ténèbres Dévertébrer le verbe de toutes mes lèvres Pour devenir celui qui gambadait dans l'herbe J'lève la main gauche et déclare avec verve Être prêt, pour la face ou l'envers Pacte avec Dieu ou pacte avec l'enfer J'veux l'élixir, la luxure Le luxe d'être permanent comme le clan Klux Kux

I'm ready to summon the forces of darkness To rip the spine from the words of my mouth To become him who once ran free I raise my left hand and declare with my soul I'm ready to face the darkness To make a deal with God or a pact with the Devil I want... the elixir, the luxury/lust The luxury of being as permanent as the clan Ku Klux

It might not be my place to speak about this topic, but the allegory of an aging Black man wishing he could live a longer life, equating this luxury of simply existing inconditionally to the long-lasting presence of a secret society of violent white supremacists - that just kind of hits the nail in a bitter way?? MC Solaar being Black would be an important factor of analysis to the song's lyrics, including the impact of medical racism and the utilitarianism.

I would be very happy to discuss this, do let me know if I should edit/remove anything in this text!

Listen to eight minutes of music from the Sonoton Library LP ‘Space Fiction’ (SON 106, Stereo, Germany, 1980)

Although the German music library Sonoton was formed in 1965, most of its recorded output floating around these days stems from the dawn of the 1980s and beyond. From the music on the records I do have, and the sleeves of the ones that elude me, I think we can safely say that Sonoton specialised in the contemporary, futuristic and progressive side of the ‘off the peg’ soundtrack business.

Much of this library’s music has an air of foreboding, menace, danger and desolation about it. As listeners, confronted with heavy percussion, electronic sound effects and synthesizers, we may find ourselves abandoned in a toxic wasteland, lost in a busy factory, plunged many fathoms into a freezing ocean or ravaged by the misuse of all manner of recreational drugs.

On this record we are flung into the eerie isolation of deep space accompanied by, according to the album’s rear cover overview, “Futuristic sounds with and without pop rhythms”. Well, thank goodness for the pop rhythms; when faced with the inconceivable vastness of the known, and unknown, universe (and one’s own undeniable insignificance) it’s nice to have something to tap a toe or click a finger to.
