Steam predates both gas and electric. 1888 for electric 1890 for gas production cars, not engineering development models. In terms of history they all came to provenance around the same time. Gas won out as the best fuel source then, as for today, because of its superior energy density.
That, and there really was no significant electricity available late 19th century rural life. Electricity was barely even a utility in the late 1800's in populated areas. And please don't try to contradict me on this, I live in a house that predates the invention of electrical generation.
