The car was converted to electric in November, 2011 and since then the owner has driven 63,000 miles. The electric motor is a HPEVS AC-50 model that makes 76 hp and 120 lb-ft of torque using a Curtis 1238-7601 controller. Energy is fed to the motor from 34 Thundersky 260 AH prismatic LiFePO4 cells separated in three boxes.

Suspension upgrades include custom front springs and zero lash swap bar end links.
