Buy an old Stanley Steamer and refurbish it; you'll get much better

The point of this was a vehicle that could be electrically
recharged and didn't need to burn any liquid fuel.

A Stanley has the wrong sort of boiler, but "fireless" boilers were
built and used.

I would assume that the "fireless boilers" use immersion heaters,
and if you, the Stanleys use of a fire-tube boiler really wouldn't
work that way. The fire-tube boiler does have at least one major
advantage over water-tube, though....
