The Electric Vehicle Company began its operations on the assumption that the electric automobile was going to be the dominant type; when this became demonstrably a bad guess, the company tried to compensate by using the Selden patent to collect royalties from the manufacturers of gasoline automobiles.
Shortly afterward the Electric Vehicle Company was reorganized as a holding company for the projected operating concerns in the various cities, and in 1900 the relationship of parent and subsidiary was reversed when the Electric Vehicle Company took control of the Columbia organization.
Nor was the company in a position to benefit from the continuing expansion of the automobile industry, since the licensees promptly took advantage of its troubles to beat down the royalty rate.
