The Hupp-Yeats electric was developed and built in Detroit beginning in 1911 by Robert Craig Hupp, initially through the R.C.H. Corporation and then under the Hupp-Yeats Electric Car Company name. Four-seat open and closed cars used Westinghouse motors and selective-speed control, with the model line continuing through the mid-1910s and the company name surviving in period references to 1919. The company was unrelated to Robert Hupp's Hupp Motor Car Company despite the similar surname. The catalog keeps Hupp-Yeats as an independent American electric pioneer and does not merge it with Hupp, Detroit Electric or later EV projects.
