Electric cars were available beginning in the middle of the 19th century. However, electric cars were not in demand at the beginning of the 20th century.

Select the part of the passage that represents the concept of supply and demand.

Electric cars didn’t have the range that gas-powered cars had, and electricity was still not readily available in many rural cities, making the gasoline-powered cars the automobiles of choice.
