Other Notes: The previous owner entered this EV in various competitions around the US. It won several awards and once achieved 117 miles on a single charge using a 120v 240ah lead acid pack. It was driven VERY carefully to pull that stunt off & the pack was pushed to its limit. Not something I'd recommend but in a competition I guess the pack's welfare is not a priority. I'm now the new owner and I've had one huge fat EV smile on my face ever since. So far I've not attempted more than 35 miles on a charge but its nice to know the car is capable of more.
