One of the better known makes of electric cars from the early 20th century in North America, 3 separate firms produced the vehicles from 1905 to 1922. Initially (1905-1916) the Rauch & Lang Carriage Co. of Cleveland OH, which had been in the carriage making business from the mid-1800s, started to produce a variety of open and closed electric cars in quantity. As part of the consolidation of the industry between 1910 and 1920, the firm merged with Baker Electric to become Baker, Rauch & Lang Co. in 1916 and continued to produce electric cars in Cleveland untill 1922. Production was moved to a smaller plant in Chicopee Falls MA in 1922 under the name Rauch & Lang Electric Car Manufacturing Co. and continued until 1922, but quantities were small during this latter period. The cars produced at Chicopee Falls were known as Raulangs. McLaughlin advertised the availability of an electric car in Canada based on the Rauch & Lang chassis, with the body produced by McLaughlin
