The Edison Botanic Research Corporation was a research firm co-founded in 1927 by Edison and his two boon companions, fellow industrialists Henry Ford and Harvey Firestone, to find a viable alternative to rubber that could be grown and processed in the United States. In 1928, the firm opened its research laboratory in Fort Myers, Florida, near Ford's and Edison's summer retreats. In the laboratory and surrounding gardens, researchers grew specimens and conducted experiments. Edison's lab is said to have tested some 17,000 plants before selecting the goldenrod plant as the best domestically-grown rubber alternative. Oversight of the Edison Botanic Research Corporation was transferred to the U.S. Department of Agriculture in 1936.

Thomas Edison Document Signed - Electric Vehicle Registration (1914) for His Detroit Electric Model 47 Brougham—an early example of an electric car, powered by Edison nickel-iron batteries Partly-printed DS, signed “Thos. A. Edison,” one page both sides, 4 x 5, November 14, 1927. State of New Jersey Department of Motor Vehicles registration application filled out in type and signed by Thomas Edison, offering specifics of the vehicle in question: "Name of Car: Detroit Electric, Serial No. 5426, Year: 1914, Engine No. 5426, Model 47, Body Type: Brougham, Body Color: Dark Blue." Notably, the number of cylinders and bore of cylinders are not applicable as the car was powered by an Edison nickel-iron battery rather than an internal combustion engine. The application also indicates that the vehicle is properly equipped in regard to brakes, signaling device, reflecting mirror, and non-glare headlights. Framed with glass on both sides to an overall size of 6 x 7.25. In fine condition. Produced by the Anderson Electric Car Company in Detroit, Michigan, the Detroit Electric Model 47 Brougham featured three on-board battery compartments; one forward, one rear and one underneath for auxiliary applications like headlamps, clock and perhaps some heating for the interior. It was advertised as having a range of 80 miles at a speed of 20 mph. The preferred vehicle of Mrs. Edison, the Model 47 remains on display in Edison's garage at his Glemont estate in Llewellyn Park, West Orange, New Jersey, where visitors marvel at its curvy 'teapot' shaped appearance.
